Otto Porter sat at his locker following the Wizards’ blowout win Wednesday over the Philadelphia 76ers with giant ice packs wrapped around both knees, his foot and his right hand. Without context, it would have been hard to tell the forward had just played 33 minutes.
But this is the type of maintenance — Porter calls it “an old-school remedy” — required as Poter tries to get over a right knee injury that caused him to miss 10 games.
Although he returned to the court last week, Porter said he’s still not completely comfortable.
“There is nothing easy about getting back,” Porter said.
