Kristaps Porzingis suffered a torn right meniscus during the 2019-20 restart. DALLAS (AP) — Kristaps Porzingis will miss the start of the season as the Dallas Mavericks star continues recovery from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.
After years of getting bullied on the boards, Porzingis has also finally become a good rebounder. With the Mavs, though, Porzingis has set new rebounding career highs on both a team-wide and personal level, which has enabled him to play as the team's lone big man, the role that suits him best.
