He has made only two other appearances since Nov. 12 and has yet to play in any back-to-backs this season. During the 2024-25 season, Porzi\u0146\u0123is appeared in a career-low 42 games for the then-defending champion Boston Celtics.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">An <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/emoryhealthcare?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@emoryhealthcare<\/a> injury update:<\/p>\n<p>Kristaps Porzingis has missed multiple games while dealing with a recent illness.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure he continues to make progress toward a full recovery, he will continue this period of limited basketball activities and evaluation for two weeks, after\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9Jeekj7gh2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/9Jeekj7gh2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ATLHawks\/status\/2000310258359570805?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">December 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This past offseason, Boston traded the former All-Star to Atlanta in a three-team deal in exchange for Georges Niang and a 2031 second-round pick. To acquire Porzi\u0146\u0123is, the Hawks traded Terance Mann and Drake Powell to the Brooklyn Nets.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the 30-year-old Porzi\u0146\u0123is misses only two weeks remains to be seen, but he has been a productive contributor for the Hawks in his relatively limited playing time. Atlanta entered Sunday\u2019s games with a plus-3.4 net rating in his 337 minutes on the court,\u00a0according to NBA.com, but that mark falls to minus-0.6 in his 921 minutes on the bench. A key reason for that has been his ability to thrive alongside the Hawks\u2019 younger, more promising pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Because four-time All-Star Trae Young has played in only five games this season, Atlanta\u2019s second-most-used lineup involves Porzi\u0146\u0123is playing alongside veterans Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and second-year forward Zaccharie Risacher, who was drafted No. 1 in 2024. That unit is outscoring opponents by 7.3 points per 100 possessions over 127 minutes entering Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Porzi\u0146\u0123is has not played since Dec. 5, when he scored 25 points in a 134-133 home loss to the Denver Nuggets.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Atlanta Hawks forward Kristaps Porzi\u0146\u0123is will be out of the lineup for at least two weeks due to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":447446,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3119,7564,1260,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-447445","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-atlanta-hawks","9":"tag-fantasy-basketball","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115720508119489220","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=447445"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447445\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/447446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=447445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=447445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
