It has already been reported that the Dallas Mavericks, represented by Porziņģis, won the Houston Rockets 116: 106 on their field on Tuesday.
Porziņģis has not been playing since the middle of the third quarter due to lower back pain.
The club reported that on Wednesday Porziņģis could already work in training.
“He’s fine,” Kids said. “He also did a bit on the field and we’ll see how he feels on Thursday. Hopefully he’ll be able to play.”
Sterling Brown (left ankle sprain), Trey Burke (health and safety protocols) and Kristaps Porzingis (low back tightness) will all miss tonight’s game against San Antonio.
Boban Marjanović (low back tightness) is questionable.

Porziņģis’ chances of playing on the field on Thursday in the game in Dallas against San Antonio “Spurs” in the list of injured NBA players, as well as his teammate Sterling Brown, were assessed as “doubtful”.
The Mavericks will visit Denver on Friday to play the Nuggets.
Previously, a Latvian often participated in only one game, if he had to go to the court for two days in a row. This is the first time this season with two fights in two days.
Kids say no decision has yet been made on how to deal with this situation this season.
“We’re going to talk about these games,” says the coach. “Hopefully on Thursday afternoon we’ll have a plan. But first we want to see how he feels, and hopefully he’ll be able to go to the square tomorrow.”
The issue was also Brown’s play on Thursday. He suffered an ankle injury at the end of Wednesday’s training.
“Brown (left ankle sprain), Trey Berk (health and safety protocols) and Porziņģis (lower back pain) will miss tonight’s game against the San Antonio club,” the club’s Twitter account said.
It is added that Boban Marjanovich’s participation in Thursday’s game due to back pain is also questionable.
The Mavericks have won two of the three games at the start of the season, giving them fourth place in the Western Conference.
