Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis: Will play Thursday vs. Wizards
Porzingis (back) will play in Thursday's game against the Wizards, Steve Popper of The Record reports.
Analysis:
Porzingis was held out of Tuesday's matchup with the Bulls, but a few extra days of rest has provided him enough time to make a full recovery. He's fully expected to take back his usual role in the starting lineup and a minutes restriction has not been reported, although it wouldn't be surprising if the Knicks kept a close eye on him with the playoffs already out of sight and the team heading into a back-to-back set. With Porzingis back in the starting five, Maurice Ndour will likely head back to the bench in the corresponding move.
