Mandatory Credit: D. Ross Cameron-Imagn Images Golden State Warriors center Kristaps Porzingis has been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Denver Nuggets in San Francisco due to an illness.
Acquired at the trade deadline from Atlanta this month, Porzingis made his Warriors debut in a 121-110 home loss to the Boston Celtics on Thursday. Coming off the bench, he had 12 points, one rebound, one assist and one block in 17 minutes of play.
Porzingis, 30, was on a minutes restriction in his first action since Jan. 7, when he played for the Hawks. He sat out six weeks with Achilles tendinitis.
He is averaging 16.8 points and 4.9 rebounds in 18 games (12 starts) this season.
