Kristaps Porzingis is out of the health and safety protocols and ready to return for the Dallas Mavericks. That means the Mavs no longer have room on their active roster for Marquese Chriss.

Under tweaked roster rules due to COVID, the Mavs can keep Chriss through the duration of his 10-Day hardship contract. However, Chriss must be inactive for games. If Dallas loses another player to the protocols, then Chriss can be made active for games.

The Mavericks would like to keep Chriss beyond his 10-Day deal, but do not have an open roster spot. In 12 games with Dallas, Chriss has averaged 6.8 points and 3.9 rebounds in 11.8 minutes per contest.
