APRIL 6: Carlisle shared a positive update on Porzingis today, telling reporters that the big man will travel to Houston with the Mavericks and that there’s a good chance he’ll play on Wednesday vs. the Rockets (Twitter link via Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News).
APRIL 5: Mavericks big man Kristaps Porzingis has a sprained right wrist and could miss multiple games, according to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon.
It’s the latest ailment for the oft-injured Porzingis, who has appeared in 31 games this season. He missed the first nine games while recovering from offseason surgery on his right knee. He sat out three February games due to lower back tightness and has also been sitting out the second game of back-to-backs.
Dallas defeated Utah on Monday without him, the Mavs’ fifth consecutive victory.
The latest injury has been a nagging one.
“We don’t have a timetable,” coach Rick Carlisle said. “We hope it’s not serious. It’s something that he’s been dealing with for a number of weeks, so we’re going to hope for the best on that.”
Porzingis is averaging 20.2 PPG, 8.9 RPG and 1.6 BPG this season. He’s signed through the 2023/24 season, with the final year being a player option.
Dude misses more games then he plays anymore
Amen.
This season he has played 31 & missed 18… so you kind of wrong when you look at the facts, right?
You get he is going to miss more now …right?
You get that he may not, right?
Knicks fleeced the mavs from the start. KP was a fun story and a great player in theory but his body can’t handle the game
Fleeced? The Mavs also got Tim Hardaway Jr. in the deal and he’s been pretty good there. What did the Knicks get? DeAndre Jordan, Dennis Smith Jr, and Wesley Matthews. Jordan signed with their neighbors in Brooklyn, they gave Matthews a buyout, but they did manage to get an aging Derrick Rose for Smith plus this year’s 2nd round pick. The Knicks also get the Mavs first round pick this year plus another one in 2023 that’s top-10 protected.
And the cap space to sign Randle, Bullock, Burkes, Noel. This trade keeps giving every yr. Next yr we will have 50 mill in cap space. Randle, Rose alone is better than KP now. Ok , I’ll remind you of the picks when we draft them …..
Prozinglass
Hope their any strong winds or he will miss rest of the season.
NY fans rejoice with their schadenfreude.
