Kristaps Porziņģis has not played since the end of January due to a knee injury. This season, the Latvian has participated in 34 matches and all the ranks of the Dallas Mavericks, who changed the Latvian to the Washington Wizards against Dāvis Bertāns and Spencers Dinvidija on February 10.
Although it was initially estimated that Porziņģis could make his debut immediately after the break of the Star Game, this did not happen. More on Thursday Wizards head coach Wess Anseld, junior, said it was not yet known exactly when the attacker would play in Washington’s first match. However, the progress was noticeable, because on Thursday Porziņģis fully participated in the training for the first time, but today for the first time he participated in all training sessions with other basketball players.
NBC Sports Washington journalist Chase Hughes pointed out in his Twitter account today that Porzig’s debut is expected on Monday night. 1:00 Latvian time, Washington will play against Indiana on its field. Officially, this could only become known on the day of the game. Later, the Wizards changed Porziņģis’ status to possible participation in the match. Such a statement brings the Latvian even closer to participating in the game against the Pacers.
Washington has lost in the last six of ten games and is currently ranked 11th in the East with 28 wins and 34 losses, behind the Charlotte Hornets in 10th place by three. Kristaps Porziņģis has averaged 19.2 points this season, won 7.7 rebounds and blocked 1.7 opponents.
