Kristaps Porzingis made a promising return for the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night in Oklahoma City, but the veteran center is now set to miss another game as the franchise takes a cautious approach with their latest trade acquisition.
The Warriors quickly announced after Saturday's tough 104-97 loss that Porzingis would be rested from Monday's matchup in Utah, allowing him to play at home against the visiting Chicago Bulls in the second night of a back-to-back on Tuesday.
