Overview
- Atlanta said Kristaps Porziņģis is progressing from an illness, is now day-to-day, and will not travel for Monday’s game at Oklahoma City.
- Monday will be his 10th consecutive absence and his 14th missed game in the past 15 after a minimum two-week shutdown announced on December 14.
- He has appeared in 13 of 33 games this season and has produced 19.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game when available.
- Porziņģis was diagnosed with POTS last season with Boston, and he has said the current illness is not related to that condition.
- Atlanta has dropped six straight and held a players-only meeting, and Porziņģis’ expiring deal has placed him in trade rumor discussions ahead of possible free agency.
