Kerr still unsure about Porzingis' availability at start of season

Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA), North America's top professional basketball league, still has no clarity on whether Latvian basketball player Kristaps Porzingis will play at the start of the season. For the club and its supporters, it means it is not yet known whether the Latvian will be available for the team's first games.

Contact with the player

According to the headline of the report, the coach has been in touch with Porzingis in writing – the two have exchanged messages. The available part of the report gives no further details about what exactly the player and the coach discussed, so no specific reasons or timeframes are mentioned.

What it means

No definite answer about Porzingis' readiness for the start of the season has been given yet. Planning of the team's lineup for the opening games therefore remains open until the coach receives clearer information.
