Cuban noted Porzingis already “putting up ungodly numbers” after 21 months of not playing basketball

BOSTON — Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was going through a pre-game interview session prior to Monday’s game against the Boston Celtics when Kristaps Porzingis’ name came up.

Needless to say, Cuban’s eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.

Not only is Cuban impressed with the 20.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.6 blocks Porzingis is averaging. He’s also equally excited that the 7-3 power forward has been able to accomplish all of this some 21 months after undergoing surgery to repair his tore left anterior cruciate ligament.

“The dude talks about being rusty,” Cuban said.
