Kristaps Porzingis Returns to Practice, January Comeback 'Isn't Far-Fetched'

Dec 30, 2020 1:09 AM

Kristaps Porzingis returned to practice on Tuesday for the first time since undergoing surgery in October on his right knee.

There is no timetable for Porzingis' return, through Rick Carlisle said it could happen in the next couple of weeks.

"Sometime in the next couple of weeks isn't far-fetched. It isn't certain, either. I think we just have to go day to day with it and hope that things can keep moving in a positive direction," said Carlisle.

Porzingis said his main goal was to re-find his rhythm before he returns to the court.

"I just need a little bit of time now to get back in a rhythm and feel good on the court, and that's it."
