Warriors have not paid Porziņģis amid health absence

Kristaps Porziņģis has been absent from the Golden State Warriors since late September and has not received payment during this period as he deals with health issues. The former All-Star's situation remains unresolved as the team continues its season without him.

The Warriors are currently seventh in the NBA standings with a record of five wins and three losses from eight games played. Their recent form is strong, having won their last five matches, including a 116-113 victory over the Phoenix Suns on 3 November.

Golden State, based in San Francisco, competes in the NBA's Western Conference Pacific Division. They are preparing for a home game against the Miami Heat on 6 November, aiming to build on their positive run despite Porziņģis's absence.

The team has demonstrated solid performances recently, defeating notable opponents such as the LA Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Denver Nuggets. The Warriors will look to maintain their momentum as they navigate the challenges posed by missing a key player like Porziņģis.
