As noted early last week, in Game 2 Porzingis sustained a torn medial retinaculum with an associated dislocation of the posterior tibialis tendon in his left leg. According to the Pro Basketball Doc's this is particularly bad news for a basketball player, as the injury is rare and involves the major tendon on the medial side of the leg flipping over the ankle bone.
Although Porzingis is listed on the Game 5 injury report as a game time decision and was able to suit up but did not play in the Game 4 loss to Mavericks our thoughts below hold true that Porzingis will continue to watch from sidelines.
Players on the team have noticed he looks uncomfortable in practice and this will not change during the finals. Expect the “specific instances” that Porzingis is reportedly available for to not be enough for him to play.
