His Dallas Mavericks just started the match with the Los Angeles Clippers, but Porziņģis was removed from the list of players at the last minute. Porziņģis will not go to the square due to knee pain in his right leg.
Last year, Porziņģis broke the cross ligaments in his left leg, but this season he missed ten games because there was pain in his other knee.
Before the game, the injured players’ report stated that Porziņģis had a broken left foot heel, and his participation in the match was assessed as possible.
Mavericks leader Luka Dončič has already reportedly stretched his left ankle in a previous match. On Sunday, it was found that his injury was not serious, so the Slovenian went to the square.
The fifth game in the series will take place on Tuesday. After three matches in a series of up to four victories, the Mavericks are driven by 1-2.
NBA teams played eight matches before the playoffs to determine the final place distribution before the playoffs began. The Mavericks finished seventh in the Western Conference, while the Clippers finished second.
