The moves he made for the team this past offseason set them up for success. That&#8217;s why Boston had the best record in the NBA at 64-18. Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis were the two pieces that have helped take Boston to another level this year.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Game 4 of Boston&#8217;s opening-round series vs. the Heat, Porzingis suffered a non-contact injury. He had to leave the game early in the fourth quarter and did not return. According to leave sources, it&#8217;s a calf strain for Porzingis, the same injury that&#8217;s kept Giannis Antetokounmpo off the floor for Milwaukee. NBA insider Shams Charania said that Boston is treating this like a one-to-two-week injury for Porzingis and they&#8217;ll see how he progresses through rehab.<\/p>\n<h2>Who can step up for the Celtics while Kristaps Porzingis is out?<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&#8220;Kristaps Porzi\u0146\u0123is has a right soleus strain, so this is a calf strain&#8230;I&#8217;m told this is going to be treated like a week to week injury, could be 1-2 weeks for Kristaps Porzi\u0146\u0123is, could be even longer than that based on his rehab.&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShamsCharania?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ShamsCharania<\/a> on Kristaps Porzi\u0146\u0123is&#8217; injury\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/LgPcl1jYxU\">pic.twitter.com\/LgPcl1jYxU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Run It Back (@RunItBackFDTV) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RunItBackFDTV\/status\/1785680132075839659?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 1, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nDuring his professional career, injuries have been a reoccurring issue for Kristaps Porzingis. He&#8217;s played 60+ games in a season just once since 2019-20. The 28-year-old played in 57 of Boston&#8217;s 82 games this season. Joe Mazzulla and his coaching staff have done what they can this season to try and keep Porzingis healthy. However, a non-contact injury on Monday was unavoidable. Now, Porzinigs is out with no set timetable to return. Not ideal for the\u00a0 Celtics who were the favorites heading into the playoffs to win the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n<p>With Porzingis out, the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/news\/can-the-celtics-get-back-on-track-tonight-vs-the-hornets-after-two-straight-losses\/\">Celtics<\/a> are going to have to go deeper into their bench. In Boston&#8217;s two previous seasons, they used veteran big man Al Horford as their center. When Porzingis was acquired, the Celtics were able to bring Horford off the bench and be utilized with their second unit. During the 2024 postseason, Porzingis and Horford are both averaging (26.3) minutes per game. That number is going to increase for Horford who will likely start at center until Porzingis returns. The 37-year-old is more than ready for this moment with 170+ playoff games in his career.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Sam Hauser on Kristaps Porzingis\u2019s injury:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s tough shoes to fill, but I think collectively we can fill them, in a different way.

Kornet is seven-foot-two and Boston needs his size on the glass. During the regular season, he averaged (15.6) minutes per game for the Celtics. Expect to see him have a bigger role moving forward until Porzinigs returns. Tonight, the Celtics have Game 5 at home vs. the Heat and have the chance to end this series on their home court. How will Boston look in their first full playoff game this season without Kristaps Porzingis?<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/\">Sportslens.com &#8211; NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB News, Rumors &amp; Betting Picks<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/news\/how-far-can-the-celtics-make-it-this-postseason-without-kristaps-porzingis\/\">How far can the Celtics make it this postseason without Kristaps Porzingis?<\/a> &#8211; originally posted on <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/\">Sportslens.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Celtics\u2019 GM Brad Stevens won Executive of the Year in 2023-24.
