Warriors have reportedly stopped paying Kristaps Porzingis’ $20 million salary amid mystery illness saga

The Golden State Warriors have reportedly stopped making Kristaps Porzingis’s scheduled salary payments, saying he is not currently providing services to the team. The situation follows his absence from the court this season and raises questions about how his ongoing health problems affect his employment and pay.

The 31-year-old stepped away before training camp and is reportedly experiencing recurring symptoms associated with POTS, which can include dizziness and fatigue. He is not disputing the missed payments, and the players’ union does not plan to challenge them. The Warriors gave him a two-year, $40 million extension this offseason, despite his playing only 74 games across the previous two seasons; his current salary is $20 million.
