Porzingis has been recovering from a bone bruise that forced him to miss his final six games with Dallas and his first three with Washington. He'll return to a Wizards team that is currently 11th in the Eastern Conference -- and just two games behind the Hornets for the final spot in the play-in tournament.

Porzingis represents an upgrade for a Wizards team hoping to qualify for the 2022 NBA Playoffs. Porzingis was averaging 19.2 points and 7.7 rebounds per game prior to suffering the injury in late January.
