Kristaps Porzingis News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Out again Thursday Porzingis (Achilles) will remain on the inactive list for Thursday's game in Portland.

Impact Thursday will mark Porzingis' fourth consecutive game on the sidelines due to tendinitis in his left Achilles, and the lack of updates from the Hawks on Porzingis is concerning. For now, he should be considered doubtful for Saturday's game against the Celtics. With Mouhamed Gueye (ankle) being listed as questionable for Thursday, Onyeka Okongwu could be forced into heavy minutes.

Impact Porzingis will miss his third consecutive game due to left Achilles tendinitis, and his next opportunity to play will come Thursday against Portland. With the veteran big man sidelined, Mouhamed Gueye and Asa Newell (quadriceps), who is listed as questionable, are candidates for increased playing time.

Ruled out Sunday Porzingis (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Questionable to play Sunday Porzingis (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Porzingis missed Friday's blowout win over the Nuggets due to left Achilles tendinitis after playing two games in a row on Jan. 5 and Jan. 7. He'll be a game-time call for this matchup Sunday, but even if he's cleared, it wouldn't be surprising if he's available off the bench in a limited capacity. He's played off the bench in his five appearances since the beginning of December, averaging 13.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.6 blocks per game in that span.

Not playing Friday Porzingis (Achilles) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Porzingis was a late addition to Friday's injury report due to left Achilles tendinitis, and the injury will prevent him from playing in Friday's contest. Mouhamed Gueye is in line for more minutes off the bench in Porzingis' absence. Porzingis' next opportunity to play is Sunday against the Warriors.

Late addition to injury report Porzingis is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to left Achilles tendinitis.

Impact Porzingis is a late addition to the injury report Friday, which tends to be an ominous sign. The star big man has come off the bench in four consecutive games, and his possible absence would open up more playing time for Mouhamed Gueye in the frontcourt rotation.

Struggles off bench Porzingis registered nine points (2-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and one assist in 20 minutes during Monday's 118-100 loss to Toronto.

Impact Porzingis was held out of Saturday's loss against Toronto while continuing to work through postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, but he was given the green light to play in Monday's rematch. He scored seven of his nine points in the first half, though he went 2-for-9 over that span. It's hard to trust Porzingis from a fantasy point, given his inconsistent playing time and production when on the court.

Murray-Boyles scores 17, Raptors beat Hawks 118-100 to complete 2-game sweep of Atlanta

Cleared to face Raptors Porzingis (illness) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against the Raptors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Porzingis missed Atlanta's previous game -- the second leg of a back-to-back -- but he'll be good to go Monday. He's appeared in two games since returning from a 10-game absence due to illness, and he's come off the bench and played 17 minutes in both outings. While he'll still be under heavy limitations Monday, he may see an extra minute or two.

Won't play vs. Toronto Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Raptors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Porzingis has come off the bench in each of the Hawks' last two games following a 10-game absence due to an illness, though he was limited to just 17 minutes in each of those contests. He'll be sidelined for Saturday's contest but could be available for Monday's rematch against Toronto. Onyeka Okongwu will continue to serve as the Hawks' starting center, and Mouhamed Gueye and Asa Newell are in line for more minutes off the bench in Porzingis' absence.

Shooting woes in win Porzingis racked up four points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 17 minutes during Friday's 111-99 win over New York.

Impact Porzingis is still seemingly on a minutes restriction following a 10-game absence due to an illness, and he struggled to find his groove in his second game back from the extended absence Friday. The big man delivered his least efficient performance of the season and put up single-digit shot attempts for just the second time across 15 regular-season appearances. With Onyeka Okongwu's high level of play this season, it wouldn't be surprising to see Porzingis remain in a bench role going forward, especially if his health continues to be a concern.

Porzingis return could be just what the Hawks needed to flip the script on the season After missing ten consecutive games, Kristaps Porzingis is back and the Hawks look as elite as ever.

Scores 16 points in 17 minutes Porzingis chipped in 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 126-102 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact Porzingis returned to the court after missing the past 10 games due to an ongoing illness. He wasted little time getting involved, scoring 17 points at better than a point per minute. Given the recent history regarding his health, it is unlikely Porzingis will play heavy minutes any time soon. He should be rostered in all formats, although managers should also be open to selling high, assuming he can remain relatively healthy.

Cleared from injury report Porzingis (illness) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

Impact The stage is set for Porzingis to return to the lineup after missing multiple weeks with an illness, which should send Onyeka Okongwu to the bench. The star big man has averaged 19.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.6 blocks in 25.9 minutes per tilt across 13 games this season.

Out Monday, DTD Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Oklahoma City but will be considered day-to-day afterward, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Porzingis has missed 12 of Atlanta's last 13 games due to an autonomic condition he has battled since last season. The veteran forward is seemingly on the mend, though, and could be back later this week. Once he's cleared to play, Porzingis will likely have his minutes monitored and could come off the bench at first as the Hawks ease him back into action. His return would likely mean fewer minutes for Onyeka Okongwu and Mouhamed Gueye. Porzingis' next chance to play will come Wednesday against Minnesota.
