Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) questionable for Mavericks' Saturday matchup against Lakers

Dallas Mavericks forward Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is questionable to play in Saturday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers.

What It Means:

Porzingis' status against the Lakers remains in limbo after the Mavericks' forward was forced to leave Thursday's game with a left ankle sprain. Expect Willie Cauley-Stein to log more minutes in a tough matchup against a Los Angeles' unit ranked first in defensive efficiency if Porzingis is ruled out.

Porzingis' current projection includes 21.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists.
