Close<\/a>Ohm Youngmisuk has covered the Giants, Jets and the NFL since 2006. Prior to that, he covered the Nets, Knicks and the NBA for nearly a decade. He joined ESPNNewYork.com after working at the New York Daily News for almost 12 years and is a graduate of Michigan State University. The Atlanta Hawks<\/a> have ruled Kristaps Porzingis<\/a> out for Saturday night’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Porzingis will be held out of the Hawks’ second game of a back-to-back due to illness management. Porzingis missed two consecutive games earlier this season with flu-like symptoms.<\/p>\n Last season, Porzingis was severely slowed down by an illness in the postseason that limited him to just 7.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and just 21 minutes per game in 11 playoff games.<\/p>\n Porzingis — who is averaging 17.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks this season — said during training camp that he has completely healed from the illness.<\/p>\n The Hawks are already short-handed with star point guard Trae Young<\/a> out for at least a month with a right knee MCL sprain. Reserve guard Luke Kennard<\/a> will miss his second straight game due to illness and Nikola Durisic<\/a> is out with a right elbow sprain.<\/p>\n Emerging star forward Jalen Johnson<\/a> (right quad contusion) and guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker<\/a> (low back strain) are listed as questionable to play against the Lakers after playing in Friday night’s loss to the Toronto Raptors<\/a>.<\/p>\n
