Kristaps Porzingis injury status vs. Nuggets

Porzingis has gone through transition and careful workload management during the 2025-26 campaign. He began the season with the Atlanta Hawks, appearing in 17 games and averaging 17.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks. That was before a left Achilles issue and illness sidelined him through early January and into the All-Star break.

He was acquired by Golden State at the February 5 trade deadline in a deal that sent Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to Atlanta. Porzingis debuted February 19 against Boston, tallying 12 points and a block in 17 minutes. The Warriors continue to integrate him cautiously into the rotation.

Sunday’s matchup carries weight. The Warriors (29-27), currently eighth in the West, aim to halt a two-game skid without Curry and Jimmy Butler (ACL surgery). The Nuggets (36-21) sit third in the conference behind MVP candidate Nikola Jokic. They seek to build momentum despite injury concerns of their own. The season series is tied 1-1.
