Washington Anticipates Kristaps Porzingis Will Return Next Week
3 years agoWashington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is expected to make his team debut next Friday in Washington's second-half opener against San Antonio, per head coach Wes Unseld Jr. Unseld did leave open the possibility that Porzingis may not be cleared in time from the bone bruise on his knee that has sidelined him for the past 10 contests, but the former All-Star will have another week to continue healing up. When healthy, Porzingis has displayed his skill set with aplomb this season, averaging 19.2 points, 7.7 boards, and 1.7 blocks despite playing fewer than 30 minutes per game. His return would be a blow to the fantasy stock of Thomas Bryant and other Washington frontcourt members, so fantasy managers will want to continue monitoring Porzingis' status.
