After joyfully going through Sunday’s entire practice session at the Lympo practice facilities, Dallas Mavericks forward Kristaps Porzingis was bouncing around like a kid in a candy store.
That’s because Porzingis knows that barring a last-minute unforeseen glitch, he’ll be back on the court Tuesday when the Mavs (27-15) host the Los Angeles Clippers (30-13) at 7:30 p.m. at American Airlines Center.
Porzingis has missed the last 10 games with right knee soreness, which was complicated by an illness. On Sunday, Porzingis declared himself fit – with one caveat.
“I haven’t talked to the medical staff – all of them yet – and the decision makers,” Porzingis said.
