The Warriors acquired him from Atlanta via trade at the early February deadline. He made his debut for Golden State in a loss to the Boston Celtics on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Porzingis scored 12 points in 17 minutes in that game and said afterward that he felt ready for a heavier workload. He practiced Friday and Saturday, with Kerr saying the plan is to bump up his minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">He has been limited to 18 games this season, battling Achilles tendinitis and the lingering impact of a postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome diagnosis, a disorder of the autonomic nervous system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Warriors travel to Memphis and New Orleans for games Tuesday and Wednesday. Kerr said Porzingis&#8217; availability for either game remains unclear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN FRANCISCO &#8212; Golden State Warriors center Kristaps Porzingis was a late scratch for Sunday&#8217;s game against the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":492688,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,77896,159636,459,82],"class_list":["post-492687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golden-state-warriors-sports-basketball-team-team-statscom-9","tag-kristaps-porzingis-sports-basketball-player-player-statscom-877869","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492687"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492687\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/492688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
