As the Wizards host the Pistons on Tuesday, the Latvian interior Kristaps Porzingis will not yet be in the game for the 7th consecutive time in its new colors. Bothered by his knee since January 29, the player has not walked on the floor since.
The Washington franchise is watching their player’s case day by day, and there is no specific date for KP’s return. The option of sidelining the Latvian for the rest of the season was discussed with manager Wes Unseld Jr, who replied that: “No we are not at that stage. And if that were the case, I don’t think his injury would justify this choice. I don’t want to speak on behalf of the medical team either.”
The coach also gave an update on Porzingis’ rehabilitation. Indeed, the Latvian is still limited to 1 against 1 exercises with assistant coaches to progress on 3 against 3 then finally on 5 against 5 before being able to see the NBA floors again.
Unfortunately for fans of the 26-year-old interior, his return is not for a while.
