Kristaps Porzingis Injury News
Boston Celtics Center Expected to Miss Multiple Games
Miami Heat Playoffs Series
Miami, FL - Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is expected to miss a minimum of several games with a right soleus strain suffered in Game 4 against the Miami Heat, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The injury is a significant blow to the Celtics, who are currently leading the Eastern Conference semifinal series 3-1.
Porzingis exited the game early in the second quarter after appearing to injure his leg on a drive to the basket. He underwent an MRI on Tuesday, which confirmed the strain. Porzingis is now considered day-to-day, but it is unclear when he will be able to return to action.
The Celtics have been relying heavily on Porzingis in the playoffs, as he has averaged 18.7 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. His absence will likely force the Celtics to adjust their lineup and rotation.
