Kristaps Porzingis News, Rumors, Updates - Boston Celtics | FOX Sports

Out Saturday Porzingis (ankle) is out Saturday against the Pelicans, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Porzingis will sit out a third straight game due to a sprained left ankle, though it was encouraging that he was initially listed as doubtful rather than out. His next chance to play arrives Monday against the Spurs.

Listed as doubtful Porzingis (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's matchup against the Pelicans.

Impact Porzingis suffered a left ankle sprain Monday and was initially considered week-to-week, but Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN relayed that the sharpshooting big man could return to the Wizards' lineup within two weeks. Porzingis remains unlikely to play anytime soon, but the fact that he wasn't immediately ruled out for Saturday's contest is a step in the right direction. Following Saturday's matchup in New Orleans, Washington will begin a four-game week Monday in San Antonio.

Could be back within two weeks The Wizards have optimism that Porzingis could be ready to return to the lineup within two weeks while he recovers from the left ankle sprain he suffered in Saturday's 138-118 win...

Impact Washington announced Monday that Porzingis is being viewed as week-to-week, but if Wojnarowski's report proves to be accurate, the team could begin evaluating the big man's status on a game-by-game basis toward the end of next week. For however long Porzingis ends up sidelined, the Wizards are likely to rely more heavily on Daniel Gafford, Deni Avdija and Taj Gibson to absorb more minutes in the frontcourt.

Considered week-to-week The Wizards announced Monday that Porzingis will be listed as week-to-week with a sprained left ankle.

Impact Porzingis sprained his ankle during Saturday's win over Orlando, and though head coach Wes Unseld Jr. sounded optimistic about the big man's status after the game, Porzingis looks on track to miss the entirety of Washington's upcoming five-game road trip. Deni Avdija looks to be the top candidate to pick up increased run for Washington while Porzingis is unavailable.

Getting ankle examined Sunday Wizards head coach Wes Unseld Jr. said after Saturday's 138-118 win over the Magic that Porzingis will have his sprained left ankle re-evaluated Sunday, Josh Robbins of The Athleti...

Impact After sustaining the injury in the third quarter of Saturday's contest, Porzingis didn't return to the game and finished the night with 17 points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT), six rebounds and one block in 23 minutes. Though Unseld's comments imply hope that Porzingis won't be in store for a long-term absence, the upcoming evaluation will shed light on a potential timeline for the 27-year-old's recovery. If Porzingis is forced to miss the Wizards' next game Tuesday in Dallas, Unseld could turn to a combination of Rui Hachimura, Deni Avdija, Daniel Gafford and Taj Gibson to absorb the big man's minutes.

Impact Porzingis will have a couple of days to rest up and recover from the injiury, as the Wizards don't play again until Tuesday at Dallas. If Porzingis is forced to miss time, more minutes should be in store for Deni Avdija and Rui Hachimura. Daniel Gafford and Taj Gibson could see more time at center as well.

Heads to locker room Saturday Porzingis (undisclosed) headed to the locker room during the second half of Saturday's game against the Magic, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porzingis was spotted limping and went straight to the locker room with 5:17 remaining in the third quarter. Rui Hachimura should be in line for more minutes if Porzingis can't return.

Records 15th double-double Porzingis totaled 22 points (6-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 33 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 116-105 win over the Knicks.

Impact Porzingis had a solid first half with 15 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field to go along with four rebounds and four assists. He struggled from that point on, however, going 1-of-6 in the second half and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line for another seven points. The power forward did add seven second-half boards, four of which came on the offensive end, to notch his third double-double in his last five games, and he's now recorded at least 20 points in four straight.

Big day against Warriors Porzingis contributed 32 points (9-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 11-12 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 127-118 loss to Golden State.

Impact The 27-year-old had his best scoring performance since he poured in 41 against Minnesota on Nov. 28, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with Stephen Curry and company. Porzingis has delivered 20-plus points in eight of his last nine games, averaging 23.3 points, 8.0 boards, 2.2 threes, 1.6 assists and 1.4 blocks over that stretch as he tries to cover for the absence of Bradley Beal (hamstring).

Subpar effort in return Porzingis registered 21 points (6-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 35 minutes during Friday's 112-108 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Porzingis ended with 21 points but offered very little else in a rusty performance. Of course, he gets a pass here, given how strong he has been thus far this season. He is currently putting up top-20 value in 12-team formats, and more importantly, has missed only four games. Managers should be feeling pretty good about drafting him, and given his track record, he should look to bounce back against the Warriors on Monday.
