Kristaps Porzi\u0146\u0123is missed his fifth straight game on Monday night.<\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) \u2014 Golden State center Kristaps Porzi\u0146\u0123is is still dealing with a medical issue that has sidelined him for a week and a half.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a little mysterious,\u201d Warriors coach Steve Kerr said before his team hosted the Los Angeles Clipper on Monday night. \u201cWe\u2019re obviously working with him and hoping that he can get some clarity and he can kind of break through and get to a point to where he\u2019s consistently healthy. But that\u2019s something that the medical staff is working hard on with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Porzi\u0146\u0123is had returned to practice Friday and was listed as questionable for Saturday\u2019s home loss to the Lakers, then missed his fifth straight game Monday with an illness. It\u2019s unclear if he will travel for the team\u2019s upcoming three-game road trip.<\/p>\n

Kerr said he spoke with Porzi\u0146\u0123is earlier Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a good chat. He\u2019s doing fine,\u201d Kerr said. \u201cHe\u2019s obviously wanting to be back and wanting answers and we\u2019ll keep supporting him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 7-foot-2 center from Latvia made his Warriors debut Feb. 19 after being acquired in a trade from Atlanta<\/a>, but he hasn\u2019t played since. He has appeared in just 18 games overall this season, averaging 16.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kristaps Porzi\u0146\u0123is missed his fifth straight game on Monday night.
