Wizards prevail 116-111 to snap 76ers' 8-game winning streak

Kristaps Porzingis scored 24 points, Bradley Beal added 19 and the Washington Wizards ended Philadelphia’s eight-game winning streak with a 116-111 victory

Struggles with shot in return Porzingis recorded seven points (2-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 125-111 win over Sacramento.

Impact Porzingis missed each of Washington's previous two contests due to an illness but was able to return and log 34 minutes Friday. Whether he was suffering from lingering effects of the ailment or simply had an off night is uncertain, but his 2-for-11 mark from the field was a far cry from his season shooting percentage of 46.8. Porzingis partly made up for the poor shooting performance with a strong night on the boards, as he led the Wizards with 13 rebounds while also chipping in a pair of blocks.

Sitting out Thursday Porzingis (illness) will not play Thursday versus the Jazz.

Impact Initially deemed questionable for the contest, it seemed like Porzingis was trending in the wrong direction when he didn't participate in practice Thursday morning. His absence should open the door for Daniel Gafford to make a second consecutive start, while Bradley Beal and Kyle Kuzma figure to shoulder heavier usage rates. Porzingis doesn't have to wait long for his next chance to play, as the Wizards are back at it Friday in Sacramento.

Out Tuesday Porzingis (illness) is out Tuesday against the Suns, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porzingis didn't feel well Tuesday morning, and things only deteriorated from there. In what will be just Porzingis' third absence of the season, more minutes should be available at center for Daniel Gafford and Taj Gibson.

DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Officially questionable Tuesday Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns.

Impact After missing shootaround, Porzingis' status has been officially decreased to questionable. If the big man sits out, more minutes could be in store for Daniel Gafford, Taj Gibson and Deni Avdija.

Stuffs box score Sunday Porzingis finished with 21 points (7-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-117 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Porzingis had a rough game from the field, but he salvaged his fantasy performance with double-digit rebounds and strong passing numbers. Despite the slightly subpar performance, Porzingis has scored at least 20 points in all but one of his appearances this month and has three double-doubles in that span as well. Porzingis is averaging 24.4 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks per contest in December.

Wizards wilt in second half, fall to Clippers for ninth straight loss Kristaps Porzingis returns after missing a game with back soreness but it's not enough as the visitors fall for the 12th time in 13 games.

DECEMBER 18, 2022 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM

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.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.
