June 30th - According to ESPN , the Golden State Warriors have reached a contract extension agreement with center Kristaps Porzingis. The two sides will sign a two-year, $ 40 million contract, with a player option for the second year .
Sources revealed that Porzingis opted for an early contract extension to avoid entering the free agent market, and finalized the agreement with the Warriors before the official opening of free agency on Tuesday.
Before this year's trade deadline, the Warriors acquired Kristaps Porzingis from the Atlanta Hawks, giving up Jonathan Cuminga and Buddy Hield in return. Since joining the team, he has averaged 16.1 points (23.7 minutes) in 15 games, becoming an important rotation player in the frontcourt.
However, his attendance record in recent seasons remains a concern. This season, due to an Achilles tendon injury and other illnesses, he has only played a total of 32 games for the Warriors and Hawks.
