Wizards C Kristaps Porzingis Questionable for Friday vs. Kings

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has been listed as questionable for Friday’s matchup against the Sacramento Kings, per the league’s injury report.

The injury report clarified that it is due to a non-COVID illness. Porzingis missed the previous two games but was a game-time decision on Thursday against the Utah Jazz. It seems he’s close to returning, and the Wizards need him if they want to get back into contention for an Eastern Conference play-in spot. The Wizards currently sit in 12th.

In 2022, Porzingis is averaging 22.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game in 29 starts. If he cannot go, expect Daniel Gafford to notch another start in his place.
