Porzingis was traded from the New York Knicks to the Mavericks in January after allegedly threatening to return to Europe if he was not traded to another team. He hasn’t played since February 2018 after tearing his left ACL.
Despite some glaring concerns, the forward was still able to secure himself a long-term position in Dallas.
