But in Game 1 against the Mavericks, Porzingis proved that he was more than ready to make his return to the court.
Despite concerns that Porzingis may struggle against the Mavericks’ all-star duo, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, his performance on both ends of the court silenced any doubts. In just 21 minutes of play, Porzingis put up 20 points, six rebounds, and three blocks, showcasing his impact on both the offensive and defensive ends of the court.
