Warriors Star Kristaps Porzingis Addresses Health Absence and Denies Rumors

Golden State Warriors center Kristaps Porzingis took to social media to shut down rampant online speculation regarding his indefinite health-related absence. Amid growing rumors and fan theories circulating on social platforms, Porzingis directly addressed what he called “internet doctors,” clarifying his ongoing recovery process and explicitly stating that he does not have HIV or AIDS.

Porzingis shared an update reassuring fans that he is collaborating closely with medical professionals and experiencing steady improvement:

“Hello people, I’m working with doctors and experts to figure out how to be fully back to good health asap. Honestly, I’m getting better and better. I just have to stay patient, and I believe I’ll be feeling great again soon. Health is wealth. Thank you for all the support. I appreciate all the internet doctors trying to diagnose and help, but I’m in the best hands. So everyone can relax now… and I don’t have HIV or AIDS.”

The Golden State Warriors previously announced that Porzingis remains sidelined indefinitely due to an undisclosed illness while remaining around the team. While neither the franchise nor Porzingis has publicly disclosed the specific medical diagnosis, the 7-foot-2 big man emphasized patience as he works toward a full return to the court.
