Golden State considers moving the Latvian center’s $20 million contract before the February 11 deadline, while the player is reportedly leaning toward retirement.

The Golden State Warriors are no longer making payments to Kristaps Porzingis on his $20 million salary, believing that the center is not rendering services, according to sources familiar with the situation.

The franchise is permitted to trade his contract at any point before the February 11 deadline, even without currently paying him, and will continue exploring potential trade avenues. The 31-year-old Latvian is reportedly leaning toward ending his NBA career.

Porzingis’ near-expiring deal could still appeal to rival teams. Taking on his contract would allow another franchise to move a salary, save money and open up a roster spot through a buyout, making the center’s situation one to monitor ahead of the deadline.
