Dallas Mavericks big man Kristaps Porzingis will make his season debut Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets, coach Rick Carlisle told reporters.
Porzingis will start and be on undisclosed minutes restriction as he returns from October surgery to address a lateral meniscus injury in his left knee. Carlisle said there will be a "range of minutes" that he is looking for Porzingis to play, but that will largely depend on how he feels. The coach said he will communicate with Porzingis throughout the game and check on how he is holding up.
"The big thing is to get him back out on the floor," Carlisle said.
