In the second leg of the win-or-go-home play-in tournament contest against the Phoenix Suns on Friday, the Golden State Warriors will be able to run back the same lineup they featured in Wednesday’s win over the Los Angeles Clippers at the Intuit Dome.
However, heading into Friday’s game, a key piece for the Warriors was in question as he dealt with an ankle injury. After having a bit of limp and needing his ankle taped on Wednesday night, Kristaps Porzingis was listed as questionable with right ankle soreness for Friday’s contest.
Despite being questionable, Porzingis will suit up and play Friday’s play-in tournament game against the Suns.
Porzingis notched 20 points on 8-of-12 shooting from the field to go along with five assists and five rebounds in 28 minutes against the Clippers. In 15 games with the Warriors, Porzingis is averaging 16.1 points on 43.3% shooting from the field, to go along with 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 23.7 minutes per game.
