But Porzi\u0146\u0123is\u2019 tenure with the Warriors was marked by absences from the lineup and brief glimpses of solid play alongside the Warriors\u2019 veteran core.<\/p>\n<p>Porzi\u0146\u0123is averaged 16.1 points and 5.3 rebounds in his two-and-a-half-month stint with the Warriors. The biggest question for him will be the same one that accompanied his arrival: Will he be available night to night?

Porzi\u0146\u0123is, who was previously diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), has repeatedly praised Rick Celebrini, the Warriors\u2019 vice president of player health and performance, and his staff for helping him feel comfortable on the floor after dealing with a variety of injury issues.<\/p>\n<p id=\"article-pickem\">\n<p>Porzi\u0146\u0123is should pair well alongside Warriors star guard Stephen Curry, but the duo didn\u2019t get much of a chance to play with each other because of their respective injury issues. If Porzi\u0146\u0123is can somehow stay on the floor more in his second run with the Warriors, his ability to shoot from the outside and his defensive length would be invaluable.<\/p>\n<div data-ath-video-stream=\"XuGXVszH8ZOmdxG\">\n<div class=\"VideoHost_Root__QeM_i\">\n<div class=\"VideoHost_VideoWidth__XjNKI VideoHost_Portrait__XBaJC\">\n<div class=\"VideoTitleFrame_Root__AGckL\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"VideoTitleFrame_Title__npf3B\">When Will Steph Curry retire?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"VideoTitleFrame_VideoWrapper__Xgp47\">{&#8220;@context&#8221;:&#8221;https:\/\/schema.org&#8221;,&#8221;@type&#8221;:&#8221;VideoObject&#8221;,&#8221;@id&#8221;:&#8221;https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/video\/XuGXVszH8ZOmdxG\/&#8221;,&#8221;url&#8221;:&#8221;https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/video\/XuGXVszH8ZOmdxG\/&#8221;,&#8221;name&#8221;:&#8221;When Will Steph Curry retire?&#8221;,&#8221;description&#8221;:&#8221;The question every Warriors fan dreads: when will Steph Curry finally hang it up?
