Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Out two more games
Rotowire
The Warriors have ruled out Porzingis (illness) for game Tuesday in New Orleans and Wednesday in Memphis, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports Monday.
Porzingis didn't travel with the Warriors for their upcoming back-to-back set after he was initially listed as probable ahead of Sunday's 128-117 win over the Nuggets before being downgraded to questionable and then ruled out prior to tipoff. The Warriors haven't indicated that Porzingis' setback on the health front is a major concern, but he'll likely need to resume practicing Thursday and/or Friday to have any chance at being available for the start of the team's homestand Saturday versus the Lakers. With Porzingis out for the two-game road trip, Quinten Post could maintain a minor role in the Golden State rotation.

Seeing his first game action since being dealt to Golden State at the trade deadline, Porzingis was eased into the rotation but made a quick impact from three-point range.

Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Traded to Golden State
Rotowire
The Hawks traded Porzingis (illness) to the Warriors on Wednesday in exchange for Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Porzingis was dealt from Boston to Atlanta over the offseason, but the veteran big man has played in just 17 of Atlanta's 52 games this season due to a variety of injuries and illnesses. Porzingis will get a fresh start with Golden State, a team that just lost Jimmy Butler (knee) for the season. Porzingis missed 13 straight games before the trade, 12 due to left Achilles tendinitis and one due to illness. Once healthy and settled in, Porzingis will likely serve as the Warriors' starting center, slotting in alongside Draymond Green in the frontcourt. Porzingis is all but guaranteed to be unavailable for Thursday's game against Phoenix, which means his GS debut could come Saturday against the Lakers.
