Impact Porzingis missed Wednesday's game against San Antonio due to right knee inflammation, but he should be back in action Friday. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 27.0 minutes per game.

Questionable for Wednesday Porzingis is questionable for Wednesday's game against San Antonio due to right knee inflammation, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Limited role Monday Porzingis recorded 15 points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 10-12 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 32 minutes during Monday's 105-96 win over the Raptors.

Impact Hadn't it been for the fact that he nailed 10 of his 12 attempts from the charity stripe, this would've been an awful game for Porzingis, who only attempted six shots from the field despite logging 32 minutes. Porzingis has failed to score more than 15 points in three of his last five outings, and he seems to be having problems adjusting to a secondary role on offense with Boston, something that didn't appear to be the case in the first weeks of the campaign.
