Mavericks' Kristaps Porzingis Undergoes Surgery To Address Knee Injury

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Dallas Mavericks forward Kristaps Porzingis underwent surgery to repair an injury in his right knee, the team announced Friday.

The Mavs said the forward suffered a lateral meniscus injury in his right knee during Game 1 of the team's first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers in Orlando.

The injury forced Porzingis to miss the rest of the series, which the Mavs eventually lost 4-2.

In a statement, the team said he will begin rehabilitation immediately and that there is no timetable set for his return yet.

"Wishing a speedy recovery to our guy @kporzee. Stronger and tougher," the Mavs tweeted.
