Kristaps Porzingis may have gone for a ride with his right knee that has been battering him since his meniscus tear in the same knee contracted in the Orlando bubble in August 2020.
Last night, the Latvian interior was only able to stay on the field for 11 minutes, enough time to score 5 points and take 1 rebound before going out and quickly forfeiting the rest of the game Dallas won against Indiana. .
“He said he was a little worried. I hope it’s nothing. If he’s in pain, it doesn’t make sense to play,” reacted Luka Doncic after the meeting.
As a result, Kristaps Porzingis will not travel to Orlando with the rest of the team and will therefore undergo additional examinations to find out more about the condition of his knee and possibly the duration of his unavailability.
