Out another week
The Hawks announced Monday that Porzingis (Achilles) will be re-evaluated in one week, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Analyse
Porzingis, who has missed the last five games due to left Achilles tendinitis, is progressing in his recovery. This update means he will miss at least three more games, and it sounds like he will be re-evaluated prior to Jan. 26 against the Pacers. With Porzingis' name in the rumor mill, the team may proceed with caution.

Not playing Monday
Porzingis (Achilles) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bucks.
Analyse
Porzingis will miss a sixth consecutive game while recovering from left Achilles tendinitis. His next chance to play is Wednesday against the Grizzlies, though there doesn't appear to be a clear timeline of return for the veteran big man. Mouhamed Gueye will continue to serve as the Hawks' backup center behind Onyeka Okongwu for as long as Porzingis is sidelined.

Ruled out for Saturday
Porzingis won't play in Saturday's game against Boston due to left Achilles tendinitis, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analyse
Porzingis is out for a fifth consecutive contest and holds no definitive timeline for a return. Onyeka Okongwu should continue to dominate the center minutes Saturday, with Mouhamed Gueye helping pick up the slack left behind by Porzingis' absence.

Out again Thursday
Porzingis (Achilles) will remain on the inactive list for Thursday's game in Portland.
Analyse
Thursday will mark Porzingis' fourth consecutive game on the sidelines due to tendinitis in his left Achilles, and the lack of updates from the Hawks on Porzingis is concerning. For now, he should be considered doubtful for Saturday's game against the Celtics. With Mouhamed Gueye (ankle) being listed as questionable for Thursday, Onyeka Okongwu could be forced into heavy minutes.
