Kristaps Porzingis was disappointed that his team’s season ended in the Play-In Tournament, but he still took encouragement from how he performed individually for the Golden State Warriors down the stretch.
“It honestly was a big step forward for me,” Porzingis said. “To have a game like this, it means a lot. To pull it out of somewhere, and it was there. Definitely a big step in the right direction.”
Looking ahead, the veteran big man indicated he plans to carefully evaluate his options before deciding on his future, as he is set to become an unrestricted free agent in July.
“That’s a good question,” Porzingis responded when asked if he wants to re-sign with Golden State.
“I do love my time here, honestly. Not one bad thing I can say about the organization, the team, the teammates. I really love it here, I really do.
“As I said before, I haven’t had a good year. If I had a good year, I think I’d have a more clear picture of what I want to do.
“Because I’ve had an up-and-down year like this, this is an offseason in my career that I think I’m just going to take a step back, look at the whole picture and then see what’s the best direction for me.”
