"Practiced (Tuesday) with the team. Looking good. He's feeling good. We won't make a determination until after (Wednesday), when we practice (Wednesday) afternoon. We'll get up and down the floor and scrimmage."
"The biggest difference that he provides is his post-ups. He's a pretty good post-up player, especially against switches. You throw him the ball at the foul-line, the elbows, even the low block, he can score in those spots."
"That was one of the things we did [Wednesday], we worked on our spacing. It's a little different than the spacing around Jimmy [Butler]. Jimmy is a guy who is going to attack the rim, get to the basket, and kick out from that area whereas Kristaps is more of a scorer, shooter from iso spots, but similar concepts for everybody else. We've got to understand when there's a mismatch."
Kristaps Porzingis, acquired by the Warriors at the trade deadline, has not yet appeared for Golden State and has missed time since Jan. 7 with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and left Achilles tendinitis. He has played only 17 games this season. Porzingis practiced with the Warriors and will be evaluated after Wednesday's practice and scrimmage to determine availability. His strengths include post-ups and scoring from the foul-line, elbows and low block. Warriors spacing will be adjusted around his isolation scoring, which contrasts with Jimmy Butler's rim-attack-and-kickout approach, and the team will seek to exploit mismatches.
