Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out Wednesday
2 years agoWashington Wizards forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against Denver. He was forced to exit Monday's meeting with Brooklyn due to lower back tightness and the issue hasn't yet fully cleared up. Porzingis is having a very strong season and his recent form has been particularly impressive, with the 27-year-old giant averaging 26.8 points and 9.0 rebounds per game across his last five appearances. Daniel Gafford should pick up most of Porzingis' minutes Wednesday. He was able to grab a double-double with a few extra minutes against the Nets, and Gafford also posted a double-double and had four blocks in the first game Porzingis missed this season.
