Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle says Kristaps Porzingis hasn't had a setback in his right knee. The Mavs star is day-to-day moving forward.

Porzingis still has right knee soreness and won't play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.

Kristaps tore his left ACL during the 2017-18 season with the New York Knicks. The Mavs are just being cautious with Porzingis moving forward since he’s one of their franchise cornerstones along with superstar Luka Doncic.

In 31 games this season for the Mavs, Porzingis is averaging 17.3 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists. He’s shooting 40.3 percent from the field, 34.3 percent from beyond the arc and 72.5 percent from the free-throw line.

The Mavs gave Porzingis a five-year, $158.3 million deal this past summer. KP and Doncic are the new faces of the Dallas franchise in the post-Dirk Nowitzki era.

In early 2019, the Mavs inquired about Porzingis’ availability since they were eager to get another star alongside Doncic. A deal was finally able to get done with the Knicks on Jan. 31, 2019. When he requested a trade from New York last season, Porzingis had no idea Dallas was in the mix to acquire him, as the Mavs weren’t one of his preferred destinations at the time.

However, Kristaps Porzingis is enjoying Dallas so far. Now, he just has to get healthy for the long run.
