The Warriors are not delivering payments to Kristaps Porzingis on his $20 million salary, ruling that he is not rendering services, sources tell me and @anthonyVslater. Golden State is permitted to move his contract at any point before the Feb. 11 deadline even without paying him currently, and will continue exhausting trade avenues as the 31-year-old leans toward ending his NBA career. Absorbing Porzingis' near-expiring deal would allow a rival team to move a salary out and save money and clear a roster spot via a buyout.

Kai Cenat completely broke character and was visibly upset when Rakai and Reggie made fun of Tota just for enjoying the moment.

#49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk has filed for reinstatement and is prepared to report to the team’s facility on Friday, per @AdamSchefter. Once he does, San Francisco can’t turn him away. The options are to keep him, cut him or somehow find a trade.
