Kristaps Porzingis is sticking around Golden State after all.
The Warriors reached a two-year, $40 million extension with Porzingis on Monday night, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. That stopped him from hitting free agency this offseason, and will now keep him with the Warriors through the 2027-28 campaign.
Porzingis was only dealt to Golden State a few months ago. He landed with the Warriors as part of the deal that sent Jonathan **** inga to the Atlanta Hawks. **** inga, who had a rough ending with the Warriors himself, has since become a free agent after the Hawks declined to pick up his option ahead of the deadline on Monday.
Porzingis averaged 16.1 points and 5.3 rebounds per contest in 15 games with the Warriors last season, his 10th in the league. He had signed a two-year, $60 million deal with the Boston Celtics that expired after last season, and he was set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Porzingis, who the New York Knicks selected with the No. 4 overall pick back in 2015, has bounced around a lot in recent years. After signing that extension with the Celtics, and helping lead the team to a **** le in 2024, Porzingis was sent to the Hawks in a three-team deal. The Warriors then became the sixth team he’s played for throughout his decade-long career, and third in just the past two seasons.
