In the Lone Ranger's 105-111 loss to the Timberwolves, Porzingis withdrew from the game for 23 minutes due to a sore right foot. On December 21, Beijing time, Lone Ranger coach Kidd revealed that the X-ray of Bo Shen's right foot was negative (no structural damage). In this game, he shot 2 of 9 and had 9 of 9 free throws and had 13 points and 3 rebounds.
In the last month, Bo Shen's right ankle has been injured twice. He suffered a sprained right ankle in the Lone Rangers-Cavaliers on November 30, and missed two games against the Pelicans on December 2 when boshin collided with his opponents on his knees. The Lone Ranger is currently 15-15 and eighth in the West, with Boshin missing eight of them.
So far this season, Bo Shen has averaged 29.9 minutes per game, can get 19.4 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.6 blocks, shooting 43.8% from the field and 28.3% from three-point range. In fact, Bo Shen played well for a while, from November 11 to November 24, he scored 20+ in 7 consecutive games, setting a career record.
On December 15, it was reported that the Lone Ranger and the Nets discussed Irving's trade and offered an offer that included Porzingis. But Cuban denied the news, saying the team was not peddling Boshin: "Why should I trade him? No reason! When you want to send away a supergiant, you will never get a good ending! ”
Lone Ranger fans didn't buy it, believing that Bo Shen's body wouldn't allow him to become a supergiant. He's played 57 and 43 regular season games over the past two seasons, respectively, with a low attendance. On February 7, 2018, Porzingis tore the cruciate ligament in his left knee and the season was reimbursed. In the entire 2018-19 season, he didn't play a single game.
From joining the NBA in 2015 to being traded to the Lone Ranger in February 2019, Porzingis played just 186 regular season games in four seasons in New York. Tear of the cruciate ligament of the left knee + tear of the meniscus of the right knee ... His legs were already scarred! Even so, in July 2019, the Lone Ranger gave him a five-year, $158 million contract extension.
In order to get Bo Shen, the Lone Ranger sent Dennis Smith + Matthews + Jordan Jr. + two first-round picks, which shows that Cuban has a lot of weight on him. "For the next 20 years, we will keep both Doncic and Porzingis in Dallas," Cuban said. Porzingis hadn't played for over a year, and Cuban was still confident in him.
Porzingis + Doncic, let people see the shadow of Nash and Nowitzki. In the 2019-20 season, in the series G3 of the Lone Rangers and Clippers, Doncic retired from injury. Boshin shot 11 of 18, 5 of 9 from three points and exploded for 34 points and 13 rebounds! Became the first player in team history to play a playoff 30+10 in a single game after Nowitzki in 2011.
Doncic, 22, and Porzingis, 26, if they both stay healthy, the Future of the Lone Ranger can be expected. But Boshin's consecutive injuries, as well as Doncic's weight, have become obstacles to the Lone Ranger's path. This season, reporters broke the news that Doncic's weight has reached 260 pounds (236 pounds).
When he first entered the league, Doncic's official weight was 208 pounds, and he had gained almost 30 pounds! Doncic has played only 21 games this season due to sore left ankles, which is lower than Boshin's attendance. Thinking about what happened to Zion, Doncic really had to control himself...
