The Golden State<\/a> Warriors have been dealing with a growing injury list, with eight players currently featured on the report. While most absences are due to basketball-related issues, Kristaps Porzingis<\/a> has missed five straight games because of an illness. Steve Kerr addressed the situation on Monday, offering a damning statement.<\/p>\n The Warriors head coach’s remark came after he was questioned on Porzingis’ involvement in the upcoming road trip.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \nThanks for the submission!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/template><\/p>\n “It’s a little mysterious,” Kerr said. “We’re obviously working with him and hoping he can get some clarity, and he can break through and get to a point where he is consistently healthy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n \u2022 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/template><\/p>\n “That’s something the medical staff is working hard on with him, and yeah, I am not going to leave and deposit any medical theories anymore.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n When pressed further about the nature of the illness, Kerr directed the reporter to Warriors director of sports medicine Rick Celebrini for more information, adding to the uncertainty surrounding Porzingis\u2019 condition.<\/p>\n “Whenever Rick Celebrini comes back up here behind the mic you can ask him that,” Kerr added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Golden State has endured persistent injury setbacks this season, with no player appearing in all 61 games.<\/p>\n With Jimmy Butler<\/a> ruled out for the season and Stephen Curry<\/a> sidelined throughout February, Porzingis\u2019 continued absence has only compounded the team\u2019s struggles.<\/p>\n The center has been listed on the injury report with an illness since his debut against the Boston Celtics<\/a> on Feb. 19. He was initially expected to return after a few games, but has yet to rejoin the lineup, despite being present in the building during Monday\u2019s loss to the Clippers.<\/p>\n As the team prepares for a three-game road trip, Kerr and his staff will be hoping to have him available during the stretch.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
