"My legs feel heavy. I'll probably watch the film and be disgusted by how I moved, Porzingis said. But I'll get there. I'll get my legs under me and move the way I want to and open my lungs up more and get cardio in. There's no other way to get it than just by playing."
"You can see what kind of weapon he is, and the kind of size he gives us, Kerr said. We're just figuring out combinations and actions we want to run with him, and for him, so we'll take a little time, but really encouraging to see him out there."
"The most important thing is that I'm feeling good, and that's just giving me peace of mind, he said. I'm ready to move forward."
Kristaps Porzingis made his second appearance with the Golden State Warriors after being acquired from the Hawks in early February. Playing 23 minutes against Oklahoma City, he struggled with conditioning after missing over two weeks due to illness, shooting 3 of 9 for nine points while adding five rebounds, five assists, and a block. Despite the modest statistics, Porzingis demonstrated value through drawing fouls in the post, providing rim protection alongside Draymond Green and Al Horford, and executing quality passing reads in Golden State's offense. Coach Steve Kerr expressed encouragement about Porzingis's potential as a low-block force, noting the team is still developing combinations and actions to maximize his size and skill. Porzingis acknowledged his heavy legs and poor movement but expressed confidence in regaining fitness through continued playing time.
