KRISTAPS PORZINGIS NEWS

Questionable for Friday Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Porzingis has missed the past four games due to an illness, but it appears he's finally feeling better and could get out there Friday night. He'll likely be a game-time call, but if he can play, Onyeka Okongwu would head back to the second unit and Mouhamed Gueye's minutes would dip.

Ruled out with illness Porzingis is out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers with an illness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Networkreports.

Impact Wednesday will be a fourth straight absence for Porzingis, whose next chance to return is the front end of a back-to-back Friday against Denver. Onyeka Okongwu should start at center once again, and he has averaged 18.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.4 steals per tilt in 10 games as a starter this season.

Out again Monday Porzingis (illness) will not play in Monday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Porzingis will miss his third straight game Monday and currently doesn't have a timetable to return. In the meantime, Onyeka Okongwu is likely to hold down the fort at center with Mouhamed Gueye picking up some backup center minutes.

Out vs. Philadelphia Porzingis (illness) is out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Porzingis will miss a second straight game due to an illness, and the lack of availability continues to be an issue with the big man, who's now missed nine of the Hawks' 21 games this season. With Porzingis out, Onyeka Okongwu should draw another start at center.

Downgraded to questionable Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Porzingis was a very late addition to the injury report, presumably after waking up under the weather. If Porzingis can't go, Onyeka Okongwu would likely have a higher floor in fantasy, and Mouhamed Gueye could pick up some backup center minutes for Atlanta.

McCollum scores 46 as Wizards snap 14-game skid with 132-113 win over Hawks

CJ McCollum posted season highs with 46 points and 10 made 3-pointers, and the Washington Wizards never trailed en route to a 132-113 win over the Atlanta Hawks

NOVEMBER 26 • Associated Press

Team-high 22 points in loss Porzingis tallied 22 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during the Hawks' 132-113 loss to the Wizards on Tuesday.

Impact Porzingis returned from a one-game absence Tuesday due to rest purposes, and he led the Hawks in scoring while finishing second in rebounds behind Dyson Daniels (nine). Porzingis has missed seven of Atlanta's first 19 games of the regular season, but he has been an important contributor for the Hawks when he's played, particularly in the prolonged absence of Trae Young (knee). In eight games since Nov. 2, Porzingis has averaged 18.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.9 blocks over 27.1 minutes per game, though he's connected on just 27.8 percent of his three-pointers on 4.5 3PA/G over that span.

Absent from injury report Porzingis (rest) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact The stage is set for the star big man to rejoin the fray after missing Sunday's game against the Hornets for rest purposes. Onyeka Okongwu is likely to head back to the bench Tuesday. Porzingis has averaged 18.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.7 blocks per tilt in 11 games this season.

NOVEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Sunday Porzingis (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Porzingis will sit out the second half of the Hawks' weekend back-to-back for rest. The big man recently dealt with a knee injury and hasn't played in a back-to-back this season, so his absence is no surprise. If Onyeka Okongwu (ankle) is available, he'll likely draw the start in Porzingis' place.

NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Explodes for 30 points in win Porzingis ended with 30 points (11-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and three blocks across 33 minutes during Saturday's 115-98 win over the Pelicans.

Impact The 30-point mark was a season-high output for Porzingis. Even though two games are not enough of a sample size to draw meaningful conclusions, he's shot 18-for-27 from the field, and 4-for-9 from three-point range, in his two appearances since returning from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. Porzingis should be a must-start player in all formats as long as he's healthy, but given that he's already missed six games in 2025-26, that's far from a certainty.

Porzingis scores 29 as Hawks win 115-98 to hand Pelicans their 9th straight loss

Kristaps Porzingis scored 29 points and Vit Krejci added 21 off the bench on seven 3-pointers to propel the Atlanta Hawks to a 115-98 victory over the skidding New Orleans Pelicans

NOVEMBER 23 • Associated Press

Scores 16 points in return Porzingis amassed 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 29 minutes during Thursday's 135-126 loss to San Antonio.

Impact Porzingis was deemed available Thursday before the game, and the big man stepped up and delivered a solid stat line across the board. In fact, Porzingis ended just one minute away from recording at least 30 minutes -- he's done that just once all season long. Porzingis is a reliable option to score in double digits and should be valuable in fantasy as long as he stays healthy.

NOVEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Available Thursday Porzingis (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

Impact The veteran big man is set to return after missing three straight games due to right knee soreness. With Porzingis back, Onyeka Okongwu is expected to move back to the bench. Porzingis has been productive when available, averaging 17.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.6 blocks, but he has yet to play more than 30 minutes in a game this season, suggesting Atlanta may be monitoring his workload.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Thursday Porzingis (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Porzingis has missed three straight games due to right knee soreness, and he's at risk of missing a fourth. If he's sidelined Thursday, Onyeka Okongwu and Mouhamed Gueye would see an uptick in playing time.
