Dallas Mavericks big man Kristaps Porzingis suffered a knee injury against the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 29. He has missed the four games since, but reports were surfacing that the former All-Star is close to returning.
It would not be a moment too soon. The Mavs are have won two of the four games without KP, but the team has missed his rim-protecting presence significantly. Porzingis also makes life easier on the offensive end of the floor with his spacing abilities.
The Mavericks host the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. It is a nationally televised game on ESPN.
