Porzingis (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Sixers, Stefan Bondy of New York Daily News reports.

Analysis:

Porzingis was ruled doubtful coming into Friday, so it comes as no surprise he'll sit out. He's also yet to resume shooting, which doesn't bode well for his availability for Sunday's outing versus the Raptors either. With that being said, he'll continue to be evaluated on a game-to-game basis and we should see his status updated following Sunday morning's shootaround. Derrick Williams will likely continue to fill in as a starter and see increased minutes Friday.
