Kristaps Porzingis is neither as durable nor playing at the same level as when he was in his prime a few years ago.
Former Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis missed his fourth game of the season on Thursday night when he sat out the Atlanta Hawks’ matchup with the Utah Jazz. Some quick math will tell you that he’s sat out over a quarter of Atlanta’s early schedule.
As exciting an offseason addition as Porzingis was for Hawks fans, they’re quickly realizing why it only cost Georges Niang (with Terrance Mann heading to the Brooklyn Nets) to bring him in.
