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

Returns with four steals Saturday Porzingis had 19 points (8-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and four steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 102-93 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Porzingis returned after a one-game absence, pacing the Wizards with 19 points to go with four steals. While this certainly wasn't his best performance, managers simply have to be thrilled that he was able to get back on the court given his recent injury history. The Wizards will stay in Los Angeles, slated to face off against the Lakers on Sunday. There has been no indication Porzingis will be rested but it is always a good idea to keep one eye on the injury report.

Starting Saturday Porzingis will return to the starting five for Saturday's tilt against the Clippers, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Porzingis missed the Wizards' last game due to a back issue but will return to his usual starting role, sending Taj Gibson to the second unit. He has been given the green light from Washington's medical staff to handle a full workload Saturday and remains a must-start in all fantasy formats.

No restrictions Saturday Porzingis (back) won't face any restrictions in his return to action Saturday versus the Clippers, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Porzingis missed only one game due to the back issue, so conditioning certainly shouldn't be an issue for him. It appears the medical staff isn't concerned about the back either, so Porzingis should be free to log his usual workload.

Off injury report Porzingis (back) is no longer on the injury report and will be available for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Impact The Wizards may have their superstar duo back Saturday, with Porzingis slated to play and Bradley Beal (hamstring) logging a full practice Friday. Porzingis' return will likely send Taj Gibson back to the bench after he received a spot start on Wednesday.

Should play Saturday Porzingis (back) is expected to return to the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Clippers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porzingis' return should bring an offensive boost for the Wizards in their second tilt of a six-game west coast swing. Porzingis should reacquire his spot in the starting five, likely sending Taj Gibson back to a supporting bench role.

Ruled out Wednesday Porzingis (back) will not play Wednesday at Denver.

Impact Neither Porzingis nor Bradley Beal (hamstring) will be available for Washington, though Monte Morris (groin) has been cleared to return to the lineup. This will be only the second absence of the season for Porzingis, who's notoriously missed significant time throughout his NBA career. Over his previous four seasons, Porzinigis appeared in only 51, 43, 57 and 48 games, respectively. He'll have the benefit of a pair of off days Thursday and Friday before potentially getting back on the floor Saturday at the Clippers.

Questionable Wednesday Porzingis (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Denver.

Impact Porzingis left Monday's game versus the Nets early after suffering a back injury. The center hasn't missed a matchup since Nov. 10 against Dallas. However, if Porzingis is sidelined Wednesday, Daniel Gafford and Taj Gibson are candidates to see increased run versus the Nuggets.

Deemed day-to-day Porzingis is considered day-to-day with back tightness, Steven Shoemaker of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Porzingis left Monday's loss to Brooklyn after experiencing back stiffness and will be evaluated daily. If the talented big man misses Wednesday's matchup against the Clippers, more minutes will be available for Daniel Gafford, Taj Gibson and Anthony Gill.

Impact Porzingis' outing is done after suffering a back injury sometime during the second half of Monday's matchup. The center posted 20 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 24 minutes of action.

Porzingis is now averaging 22.7 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.6 blocks through 26 matchups.

He has missed only one previous game this season. Daniel Gafford saw a season-high 25 minutes in Porzingis' lone absence, with Taj Gibson, Kyle Kuzma and Anthony Gill also being candidates to see additional run should Porzingis sit out again Friday.
