In a statement to CBS 11, the Mavericks said: "It is our understanding that Kristaps was jumped and assaulted outside of a club in Latvia."
No further information was released as the team continues to investigate the incident.
The 7-3 forward from Latvia was acquired in a trade by the Mavericks at the end of January before the season's trade deadline.
Porzingis is also at the center of an investigation into a rape allegation in New York that happened last year when he was still with the Knicks.
