Rick Carlisle ‘not optimistic’ about Kristaps Porzingis’ status for Game 6

The Dallas Mavericks may be without their second best player for the third game in a row. Center Kristaps Porzingis’ outlook for Thursday’s pivotal Game 6 against the Los Angeles Clippers isn’t good.

Porzingis appears on Wednesday’s 2 p.m. ET injury report as questionable due to the lingering right knee soreness that has kept him sidelined for the previous two games. Also listed as questionable are Trey Burke, Luka Doncic, and Dorian Finney-Smith.

Head coach Rick Carlisle is optimistic that the latter three will suit up Thursday.
