Dallas Mavericks fans were ecstatic when the team traded for Kristaps Porzingis in January 2018. Acquiring a 24-year-old All-Star is never easy. Supporters dreamed of the pairing of Luka Doncic and KP being the building blocks of the Mavs’ next championship run.
Porzingis was recovering from a torn ACL, though. He missed 20 months of action because of the injury including the entire 2018-2019 season. KP returned to begin this campaign. He was naturally rusty and is still trying to get back to his All-Star form.
Porzingis has been healthy, though.
