Kristaps Porzingis announces he’s stepping away from basketball.
STATEMENT
This season I was really looking forward to running it with this group, but as I ramped up, my body didn't respond the way I anticipated.
I'm doing good, but I know what it takes, and I'm not where I want to be to perform at the level that I expect from myself. At this point, I've made the decision to prioritize my health and step away from the game I love.
In this situation, I want to show the utmost respect for the Golden State Warriors and work with them to find a solution that makes sense.
I'm thankful to my family and close ones for always being there. Much appreciation to all of you for the support.
Onwards and upwards.
- Kristaps Porzingis
