Kristaps Porzingis News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Iffy against Milwaukee Porzingis is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Bucks due to left posterior tibialis tendon injury management.

Impact Porzingis could miss Friday's contest as it is the first leg of a back-to-back. With Al Horford (toe) also questionable, Luke Kornet and Neemis Queta could receive increased playing time against Milwaukee.

Will start Wednesday Porzingis is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Porzingis will return to the lineup Wednesday after a one-game absence, and the Celtics will go with a big frontcourt since Al Horford will also be in the starting unit. Porzingis has played three times this season and is averaging 19.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

Not listed on injury report Porzingis (rest/knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Porzingis took a seat for the second half of Boston's back-to-back set Monday versus Miami after playing a season-high 32 minutes during Sunday's loss in Cleveland. Over three appearances his season, Porzingis has averaged 19.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks in 26.7 minutes per game.

Good to go Sunday Porzingis (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porzingis will suit up while the club works him back to full playing form. The big man has started in each of his two regular-season appearances this year, during which he has averaged 18.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks across 24.0 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Uncertain to play Sunday Porzingis is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to knee injury management, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porzingis recorded 21 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Friday's 138-129 victory over the Bulls, but it wouldn't be strange to see him get a day off. Sunday's contest will be the first leg of a back-to-back set, so the Celtics could choose to rest the big man either Sunday or Monday against the Heat. Porzingis has accounted for 37 points, 14 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 48 minutes in his first two games of the season.

Comes close to double-double Porzingis closed with 21 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Friday's 138-129 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Porzingis played 25 minutes in his second game of the season but looked much better than in his debut. The star big man ended just two boards shy of a double-double, and he's likely to remain in a starting role, though he's also likely to get an occasional day off, allowing Al Horford to move into the starting unit. Porzingis has accounted for 37 points, 14 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 48 minutes in his first two games of the season.

Makes most of limited minutes in debut Porzingis (foot) finished with 16 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 23 minutes in Monday's 126-94 win over the Clippers.

Impact As anticipated, Porzingis started but was operating on a minute restriction in his 2024-25 debut, after he had missed the first 17 games of the season while completing his recovery from the surgery he underwent in June to fix a tear in the tissue that holds the ankle tendons in place. Though Porzingis had been expected to require 5-to-6 months of recovery time, he made it back on the court in a little under five months. Aside from some poor shooting from the perimeter, Porzingis more or less looked like himself Monday, and he should see his playing time gradually increase during the Celtics' upcoming games. Porzingis will be a candidate to sit out one half of back-to-back sets for the rest of the season, however.

Starting in season debut Porzingis will enter the starting five in Monday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Porzingis underwent foot surgery in June and will return to game action earlier than his initial timetable suggested. The big man should be expected to operate under a minutes restriction in his return, though the club is thin at center with Al Horford (illness) and Luke Kornet (hamstring) sidelined.
