Porzingis hoping to play again this season if the Mavs can get past the Clippers

Kristaps Porzingis isn’t quite sure if the lateral menisus tear in his right knee will eventually require surgery. But the Dallas Mavericks’ forward is holding out hope that it won’t.

An MRI performed earlier this past week revealed the tear, and Porzingis said he had been taking some injections to help alleviate the pain.

“We’re hoping with the injections that I did that it could help me,” Porzingis said on Saturday. “Hopefully the menisus can kind of — I don’t know how it works exactly – but repair itself or whatever with the injections.

“But it depends on how I’m going to feel in the next two weeks and then I think the medical staff is going to make a decision whether I need to do something on that or not.
