As the Boston Celtics, led by head coach Joe Mazzulla, advance into the second round of the NBA playoffs against the Cleveland Cavaliers, there’s a cloud of uncertainty hanging over star big man Kristaps Porzingis due to health concerns.
The team is proceeding with caution, particularly because of the delicate nature of Porzingis’ recent calf strain, an injury notorious for potentially leading to more severe issues like Achilles injuries.
The NBA’s first playoff round saw Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined for the Milwaukee Bucks’ entire first-round series against the Indiana Pacers with similar calf strains, highlighting the difficult nature of this injury.
Given Porzingis’ past injury woes, the Celtics are particularly vigilant to avoid rushing him back into play, which could endanger his participation in the rest of the postseason or even affect his readiness for the next season.
During a recent update aired on NBC Sports Boston, coach Mazzulla reported that Porzingis is on the mend, though the team has not set a definitive timeline for his return.
“He seemed to be walking a little bit better. The thing about KP is he puts the time in. A guy like him, every single day, he knows exactly what to do and always puts the work in to be ready whether he’s playing or whether he’s coming back from an injury.”
The Celtics remain hopeful that he will be able to contribute on the court sooner rather than later, potentially even in their upcoming series against the Cavaliers.
Facing the Cavaliers, who are considered substantial underdogs, the Celtics might be able to afford some patience with Porzingis’ recovery. This situation could allow Boston to manage their lineup, ensuring that Porzingis is fully fit and preventing any long-term damage that might hurt their championship aspirations.
All of that being said, the Celtics would love to have Kristaps Porzingis back on the court during this series. But, only time will tell when he’ll be able to return from his calf strain.
