Kristaps Porzingis’ injury status against the Nuggets

Porzingis went through a transition and careful workload management during the 2025-26 campaign. He started the season with the Atlanta Hawks, appearing in 17 games and averaging 17.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. That was before a left Achilles problem and illness sidelined him until early January and the All-Star break.

He was bought by Golden State at the Feb. 5 trade deadline in a deal that sent Jonathan Cummings and Buddy Hield to Atlanta. Porzingis made his debut on February 19 against Boston, recording 12 points and a block in 17 minutes. The Warriors continue to cautiously integrate him into the rotation.

Sunday’s match has weight. The Warriors (29-27), currently eighth in the West, aim to stop a two-game skid without Curry and Jimmy Butler (ACL surgery). The Nuggets (36-21) are third in the conference behind MVP candidate Nikola Jokic. They are looking to build momentum despite their own injury concerns. The season series is tied 1-1.

So when it comes to whether Kristaps Porzingis plays tonight against the Nuggets, the answer is probably.
