Reports: Dallas Mavericks trade Kristaps Porzingis to Washington Wizards

The Washington Wizards acquired one-time All-Star center Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round draft pick from the Dallas Mavericks for Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans, according to multiple reports.

Porzingis, 26, has never recaptured the promise he held with the New York Knicks in early 2018, when he was voted an All-Star shortly before tearing his left ACL. The Mavericks traded two first-round picks for Porzingis in January 2019 and signed him to a five-year, $158 million maximum contract six months later.

In his first season since the injury, the 7-foot-3 Porzingis tore his right meniscus during the 2020 playoffs.
