The duel against the Cavaliers is scheduled for May 10 at 2:00 Latvian time. The spectator also says that the participation of the striker Max Kleber in the fight is on the question mark, but both basketball players will go out with the team. The outing will continue on Tuesday with a game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
It has already been reported that Porziņģis injured the knee of his right leg. Liepāja resident injured the same knee, who underwent meniscus surgery in October. Latvian basketball star has released 27 out of 67 Mavericks duels this season. Before that, he missed three more games because he had sprained his ankle.
The Mavericks, with 39 wins in 67 games, are fifth in the Western Conference, overtaking the Portland Trail Blazers by one win and two times ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers. It is important for the Dallas to stay in the top six of the Western Conference in order to avoid participating in “play-in” matches.
