• Kristaps Porziņģis was replaced by Wizards in mid-February, but has not yet played his first game for the Washington team, continuing to recover from a knee injury.
• He should go to the court tonight. Wizards said yesterday that his status had changed to “possible participation in the game,” and NBC journalist Chase Hugh reported that Porzig was expected to leave the field in Washington.
• It will be his third NBA debut, and the Wizards will join the Knicks and Mavericks.
• Porziņģis has not played since the end of January and has participated in a total of 34 games this season, spending an average of 29.5 minutes on the court and scoring 19.2 points.
• The final decision on Porziņģis going to the field will be made after the morning training. If something unexpected happens, the Latvian striker will make his debut in the Wizards.
• The Wizards have lost three of their previous four games, beating only the Detroit team. With a balance of 28-34, the Wizards are currently just behind the playoffs, three wins behind Atlanta.
• Pacers will be the fourth away game in a row, and the Indiana team is not having a successful season, finishing only 13th in the Eastern Conference.
• This will be a reunion for his coach with his former Dallas coach Rick Carlisle, who now runs Pacers.
• The NHL match, meanwhile, is for Rudolf Balcer, who is expected to play away against the Ducks with Sharks. The start of this game is 3:00.
• Balcers and Sharks will certainly hope to avoid a similar scenario as yesterday, when Nashville was defeated 0: 8.
