Latvian basketball player Kristaps Porzingis, who plays for the NBA team Golden State Warriors, has announced that he is ending his professional career. In an announcement made on his social media account, the 31-year-old player stated that he is prioritizing his health.
Expressing that he was preparing for the new season with great excitement, Porzingis said that his body did not respond as expected during the period when he increased his training intensity. For this reason, he stated that he reached the conclusion that he would not be able to perform at the level required to compete at the highest level.
In his statement, Porzingis emphasized that although he loves basketball very much, he puts his health above everything else. He noted that he wants to work with the Golden State Warriors to find a solution that is suitable for both parties during the separation process.
Thanking his family, loved ones, and those who supported him, Porzingis concluded his message with the words, “Non-stop, always forward and toward the better.”
