“#Kristaps Porzingis’ Mavericks future very much in doubt<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The unicorn looked more like an also ran in this postseason.<\/p>\n

Kristaps Porzingis had a disapp<\/a>ointing playoffs for the Mavericks, which ended with a 126-111 Game<\/a> 7 loss to the Clippers on Sunday afternoon. The idea of pairing Porzingis and Luka Doncic together as a European super duo has not panned out as planned in Dallas. <\/p>\n

Doncic has certainly done his part with MVP-caliber play, but his ball-dominant style and superstar spotlight has left Porzingis frustrated<\/a>, according to ESPN.com. The former Knick averaged 13.1 points and 5.4 rebounds in the opening-round series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He was asked after it was over on Sunday how he fits in with the Mavericks going forward. <\/p>\n

\u201cGood question,\u201d the 25-year-old Porzingis said before pausing to collect his thoughts. \u201cHow do I feel? I mean, I\u2019m good. I tried to put in the work, tried to work hard. I do my part, listen to the coaches, what I\u2019m asked to do, and that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI try to keep it simple for myself, so I\u2019m not overthinking, and I try to focus on what I can control. That\u2019s being a better basketball player, going into the offseason hungry. I want to get better physically [and] on the basketball court. I\u2019m going to put that work in to get better, and then the rest of the stuff will resolve itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Knicks traded Porzingis in January 2020 to the Mavericks in a deal Dallas was universally celebrated for \u201cwinning.\u201d The Knicks most significantly got two first-round draft picks back from the Mavericks in 2021 and 2023. Now, rumors have surfaced that Porzingis could be dealt again this offseason.<\/p>\n

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban hinted at a disconnect between Doncic and Porzingis last month, saying the duo had \u201cdust-ups.\u201d Porzingis denied any friction, though ESPN noted veiled comments about ball movement that the forward had made near the end of the regular season.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd whatever I do, it seems like it\u2019s always something,\u201d Porzingis said Sunday of the scrutiny around his game. \u201cI just try to be as professional as I can.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
