Kristaps Porzingis has been recovering from knee soreness since before the Washington Wizards traded for him at last week's trade deadline. But it looks like the big man will debut for Washington in the first game after the All-Star break.

Wizards coach Wes Unseld Jr. said that's how he's approaching things with Porzingis.

"I anticipate he will (play on February 25), but once again we'll just have to see."

In 60 total games between Washington and the Dallas Mavericks this season, Porzingis has missed 26 of them. He's continually battled regular knee soreness since tearing his ACL in 2018.
