Center Kristaps Porzingis re-signing with Warriors on two-year, $40 million deal

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Center Kristaps Porzingis has reached an agreement to remain with the Golden State Warriors, with a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations saying it's a two-year, $40 million contract.

The team announced his deal Tuesday, keeping Porzingis off the market as the NBA's free-agency period begins. The person provided the terms to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not part of the announcement.

The 30-year-old Latvian joined Golden State at the February trade deadline from Atlanta in a swap that sent Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga to the Hawks.

Porzingis missed significant time last season even after coming to the Warriors. The 7-foot-2 veteran played just 32 games, averaging 16.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 blocks in 24 minutes of action. He appeared in 15 games for Golden State with 11 starts.

The Warriors finished 37-45 to earn the 10th seed in the Western Conference and lost to Phoenix in the Play-In tournament.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The match between Mexico and Ecuador for the round of 32 of the World Cup was delayed and will start one hour after the original scheduled time on Tuesday night due to a thunderstorm over the Mexico City Stadium area.

The storm started about two hours before the match was set to begin.

Mexico is aiming to qualify to the round of 16 and inch closer to tie their best performances in the World Cup. Mexico reached the quarterfinals, playing at home, in 1970 and 1986.
