By the Warriors Nightly Desk · updated 2 d ago01The story of the nightWhere the injury standsPorzingis is listed as out with an undisclosed injury, categorized as Other.
Porzingis is listed as out with an undisclosed injury, categorized as Other. The status was logged on Oct. 16, 2026. The estimated return date is Dec. 1, 2026. That date comes with a caveat. Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that Porzingis won't travel with the Warriors and remains out indefinitely. So the Dec. 1 estimate is a target, not a promise. No specific injury has been named. No timetable beyond the estimate has been given. Until the team says more, the Warriors are planning without the 7-2 forward and treating his status as open-ended. Fans looking for a firm return date will not find one yet.
02What the October games showThe recent game log lists three October games.
The recent game log lists three October games. Golden State lost to the Clippers on Oct. 4, beat the Lakers on Oct. 6 and lost to Portland on Oct. 7. Porzingis is credited with 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists in 0.0 minutes in each of them. The plus-minus is 0.0 every time. In short, he did not play. The log shows no stat line for him in any October game. That fits with the injury report, which lists him out as of Oct. 16. For now, there is no current-season production to judge.
03What he gave Golden State last seasonLast season, 2025-26, Porzingis played 32 games for the Warriors.
Last season, 2025-26, Porzingis played 32 games for the Warriors. He averaged 24.0 minutes, 16.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists. He added 1.2 blocks and 0.6 steals, with 1.3 turnovers per game. He shot 44.6 percent from the field, 33.8 percent from three and 84.2 percent at the free-throw line. His true shooting percentage was 58.2. His usage rate was 26.5, and the team was 1.4 points per game better with him on the floor. That makes him a high-usage big who scores, blocks shots and spaces the floor. Those numbers are from last season, not this one.
04How last season endedHis late-season log shows a mixed stretch.
His late-season log shows a mixed stretch. On March 25 he scored 17 points with 5 rebounds in a win over Brooklyn. On March 27 he put up 28 points and 8 rebounds against Washington, another win. Then the Warriors lost every game on the log from March 29 through April 12. He scored 23 against Denver, 16 against Cleveland, 9 against Houston, 11 against Sacramento and 12 against the Clippers. His minutes ranged from 22.6 to 28.8 in those games. He grabbed 8 rebounds in three of them. The scoring dipped late, but the minutes stayed steady.
05Profile and what to watchPorzingis wears No.
Porzingis wears No. 7 and is listed at 7-2 and 240 pounds. He is 31 years old and in his 11th season. His listed school is Cajasol Sevilla. He is listed as a forward-center, and last season's team was Golden State. The key date to watch is Dec. 1, the estimated return. The more pressing question is whether the indefinite status holds. Any update on the nature of the injury or a change to the timeline would reshape the Warriors' frontcourt plans. Until then, the October log shows no minutes and the injury report shows him out.
