3 years agoDallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (back), listed as questionable, has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Spurs. Porzingis played just 20 minutes in Wednesday's win over Houston after sustaining a back injury- and the team is opting for the careful approach with their oft-injured star. Porzingis has played limited minutes this year as the team attempts to keep him healthy. His next opportunity to return to the court will come on Friday against Denver. Forward Maxi Kleber, who has averaged a double-double with 3.3 three-pointers made per 36 minutes in his career, will have some DFS appeal as a starter on Thursday night.--Tim Capurso
