Kristaps Porzingis Suffers An Ankle Injury
2 years agoWashington Wizards forward/center Kristaps Porzingis suffered a fresh injury blow in Saturday's matchup against Orlando when he sprained his left ankle in the third quarter. The injury ended what could've been a big night for Porzingis, as he managed to pile up 17 points and six rebounds with one block in 23 minutes before being forced off. Porzingis' injury lifted Rui Hachimura into a bigger role and the Japanese star matched his career high with 30 points on 13-for-22 shooting. The performance came just a few days after it emerged that the Wizards are looking to move Hachimura in a trade. The 24-year-old could now become a big piece for the team if Porzingis is forced to miss any time. Deni Avdija and Daniel Gafford also look set for bigger roles.
