Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) week-to-week for Wizards
Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis is week-to-week with a sprained left ankle, the team announced Monday.
What It Means:
Porzingis suffered the injury during Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. If the Wizards decide to hold Porzingis out for their upcoming five-game road trip, his next chance to play will be on February 3 versus the Portland Trail Blazers. The Wizards traded Rui Hachimura to the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, so Deni Avdija should be the primary beneficiary while Porzingis is sidelined. Daniel Gafford and Kyle Kuzma could also be more active on offense in the Wizards' frontcourt.
KP has the second-highest usage rate (27.4%) on the Wizards this season and is averaging 41.2 FanDuel points in 32.7 minutes per game. Avdija has a 15.9% usage rate and is averaging 31.6 FanDuel points across four games without Porzingis this season.
