Kristaps Porzingis Makes Honest Comment After Pistons-Celtics Game On Thursday evening, the Boston Celtics beat the Detroit Pistons by a score of 123-99. Kristaps Porzingis finished the victory with 19 point...
Solid all-around line in win Porzingis logged 19 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 123-99 win over Detroit.
Impact It wasn't the most efficient night from downtown for Porzingis, but he filled the box score and nearly secured a double-double for a Celtics team that was without superstar Jayson Tatum (knee) on Thursday. In seven appearances with Tatum sidelined dating back to last season, Porzingis is now averaging 19.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 3.0 blocks and 2.4 three-pointers per game since 2023-24. If Tatum remains unavailable for Sunday's contest against a Wizards club giving up the most points per game (123.8) in the league this year, Porzingis will likely experience an uptick in usage and handle a more pronounced role on offense for Boston once again.

Returns to action with 19/8 line Porzingis produced 19 points (6-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 127-121 loss to Memphis.
Impact After resting on the front end of the back-to-back, Porzingis played for a few minutes and was sent to the locker room late in the second quarter, presumably due to his lingering leg injury. He returned in the second half and seemed unhindered. Porzingis is expected to sit frequently in back-to-back scenarios until he is fully healthy.

Impact Porzingis left the game in the final stages of the second quarter with a trainer following him, and it looked as if he was hobbling a bit. Porzingis is expected to be assessed during halftime to determine whether he'll be able to return to action in the second half. If he can't, then Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta would be in line to see more minutes off the bench.

Ruled out Friday Porzingis (lower leg) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Impact Porzingis will sit in the first leg of a back-to-back set due to injury management, though he'll likely return for Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies. The big man has appeared in four of the Celtics' last five games, during which he averaged 21.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks across 27.3 minutes per contest. With Porzingis sidelined Friday, Al Horford is expected to get the start with Neemias Queta and Luke Kornet both likely to see playing time off the bench.

Iffy against Milwaukee Porzingis is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Bucks due to left posterior tibialis tendon injury management.
Impact Porzingis could miss Friday's contest as it is the first leg of a back-to-back. With Al Horford (toe) also questionable, Luke Kornet and Neemis Queta could receive increased playing time against Milwaukee.

Will start Wednesday Porzingis is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
Impact Porzingis will return to the lineup Wednesday after a one-game absence, and the Celtics will go with a big frontcourt since Al Horford will also be in the starting unit. Porzingis has played three times this season and is averaging 19.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

Good to go Sunday Porzingis (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Impact Porzingis will suit up while the club works him back to full playing form. The big man has started in each of his two regular-season appearances this year, during which he has averaged 18.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks across 24.0 minutes per game.
DECEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Uncertain to play Sunday Porzingis is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to knee injury management, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Impact Porzingis recorded 21 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Friday's 138-129 victory over the Bulls, but it wouldn't be strange to see him get a day off. Sunday's contest will be the first leg of a back-to-back set, so the Celtics could choose to rest the big man either Sunday or Monday against the Heat. Porzingis has accounted for 37 points, 14 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 48 minutes in his first two games of the season.
NOVEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Comes close to double-double Porzingis closed with 21 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes during Friday's 138-129 victory over the Bulls.
Impact Porzingis played 25 minutes in his second game of the season but looked much better than in his debut. The star big man ended just two boards shy of a double-double, and he's likely to remain in a starting role, though he's also likely to get an occasional day off, allowing Al Horford to move into the starting unit. Porzingis has accounted for 37 points, 14 rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 48 minutes in his first two games of the season.
