Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis: Will play Monday vs. Clippers

Porzingis (thigh) will play Monday against the Clippers.

Analysis:

As expected, Porzingis will take the court Monday night after missing the last game due to bruised left thigh. The big man was a full participant in Sunday's practice and should assume a regular workload for the contest. With his return, look for either Lance Thomas or Willy Hernangomez to get the boot back to the bench. Prior to his one-game absence, Porzingis was averaging 15.6 points and 7.8 rebounds across 32 minutes a contest in his last 10 appearances.
