Kristaps Porzingis exits the Golden State Warriors' loss to the Detroit Pistons with lower back spasms. He indicates he will "probably" miss Saturday's game in Atlanta against the Hawks, who traded him in February. Porzingis feels the issue began in the first quarter and intensified after a collision with Jalen Duren. After leaping for a pass, he clutched his back and left the game, ruled out after halftime. Porzingis recently showed improvement, scoring 11, 17, 20, and 30 points in his last four games. Despite the setback, he believes the injury isn't serious, recalling how to manage similar issues from earlier in his career. The Warriors struggle, dropping seven of their last eight games and committing a season-high 27 turnovers against Detroit. Meanwhile, Jonathan Kuminga, traded for Porzingis, also battles injuries but is expected to play against the Warriors.
