Kristaps Porzingis On Track To Suit Up Saturday
2 years agoWashington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is likely to make his return to action Saturday vs. the Clippers, head coach Wes Unseld Jr. announced Friday. Porzingis missed his second outing of the year Wednesday due to lower back tightness, which allowed Taj Gibson to shift into the starting five and Daniel Gafford to see added frontcourt run; with the big man back, both Gibson and Gafford slot into undesirable fantasy roles. Porzingis is amidst a scorching offensive stretch that has seen him drop at least 20 points in nine consecutive games, averaging 27.1 points while shooting 53.8 percent in that span. He dominated the LA interior as recently as last week to the tune of a 30-point, 15-rebound performance.
