"Everyone can relax, I don't have AIDS"

The reason behind Kristaps Porzingis' absence from Golden State Warriors training camp remains a mystery. The Latvian center, who has played just 15 games for the San Francisco franchise since being traded in February, is currently sidelined due to an undisclosed health issue.

With rumors and speculation growing over his absence, Porzingis took to social media to reassure fans: "I'm working with doctors and specialists to figure out how I can get back to 100% health-wise as soon as possible. Honestly, I'm feeling better and better. I just need to stay patient, and I believe I'll be back to feeling great again."

While the exact reason for his absence remains unclear, Porzingis shut down online theories in characteristic fashion: "I appreciate all the internet doctors trying to diagnose and help me, but I'm in the best hands. Everyone can relax now. I don't have AIDS."
