The Golden State Warriors have secured Kristaps Porzingis with a two-year contract extension worth $40 million, which includes a player option after the second year. Last season, Porzingis averaged 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in just under 24 minutes per game, although he struggled with his three-point shooting at 31.1 percent. This signing is part of the Warriors' strategy to bolster their roster while also navigating salary cap considerations, and it may impact their ability to offer LeBron James their full non-taxpayer midlevel exception.
