Kristaps Porzingis’ short stint in Golden State is already shaping into a bigger decision point.

The Latvian big man joined the Warriors in February to boost their offence.

Early setbacks delayed his impact, but March brought consistency as he featured heavily across nine games.

Porzingis has now played 10 games, averaging 17.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists, showing his value, according to StatMuse.

That form has quickly shifted the conversation around his future.

A report from Marcus Thompson II (via NBA Base) suggests both sides are expected to explore a new deal for next season.

That aligns with earlier indications that Porzingis is ‘enamored’ with the Warriors set-up.

The 30-year-old has steadily grown into his role after some setbacks.

He logged 20 or more minutes in eight of his 10 appearances.

That run has highlighted his ability to stretch the floor and provide scoring support.

His arrival also came at a crucial time, offering another offensive option when Stephen Curry was unavailable.

The coming weeks now carry added significance.

What began as a short-term experiment is turning into a decision that could shape Golden State’s next phase.
