Kristaps Porzingis announced on his social media accounts that he has decided step away from basketball.

Porzingis said his body hasn’t responded as anticipated while preparing for the season and that he will work with the Warriors to find a solution that makes sense.

Porzingis informed the fans of his decision via social media.

“The season I was really looking forward to running it with this group, bus as I ramped up, my body didn’t respond the way I anticipated.

I’m doing good, but I know what it takes, and I’m not where I want to be to perform at the level that I expect from myself. At this point, I’ve made the decision to prioritize my health and step away from the game I love.

In this situation, I want to show the utmost respect for the Golden State Warriors and work with them to find a solution that makes sense.

I’m thankful to my family and close ones for always being there. Much appreciation to all of you for the support.”
