Impact Porzingis will miss his fourth straight contest Thursday due to an illness. With Al Horford (toe) also out, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta should receive the majority of Boston's center minutes against Philadelphia. Porzingis' next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Lakers.

Ruled out Wednesday Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Porzingis will miss a third straight game for the Celtics due to an illness. The veteran big man is one of a few notable players that won't play for Boston on Wednesday, as Jayson Tatum (shoulder) and Jrue Holiday (finger) will also sit out this game against Portland. Al Horford and Luke Kornet will likely get more minutes due to Porzingis' absence.

MARCH 5 • BOSTONGLOBE.COM

Doubtful for Wednesday Porzingis (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against Portland, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Porzingis was able to participate in Tuesday's practice, though he is still expected to miss his third consecutive contest due to the non-COVID illness. If the big man remains sidelined, Luke Kornet and Al Horford are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Participates in practice Tuesday Porzingis (illness) went through practice Tuesday, Souichi Terada of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Porzingis has missed the last two games for the Celtics with an illness but could be trending toward returning to the floor Wednesday against the Trail Blazers. If the veteran big man can't play against Portland, Boston will likely turn to Al Horford to shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Downgraded to out Sunday Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact As expected, Porzingis and Jrue Holiday (finger) have both been downgraded from doubtful to out, but Jaylen Brown (knee) will be available. Porzingis' next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus Portland, and in his absence, Al Horford should draw another start.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Sunday Porzingis (illness) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porzingis missed Friday's loss to the Cavaliers with the illness, and the doubtful tag suggests his chances of playing Sunday are slim as well. The big man is averaging 17.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 steals per game across eight outings since the beginning of February.

Downgraded to out Porzingis (illness) is officially ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Cavaliers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Porzingis was able to suit up Wednesday against Detroit, but will miss Friday's game due to his illness. If Luke Kornet (personal) is able to play, he and Al Horford will likely garner more playing time in Porzingis' absence.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy Friday Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Porzingis was a late addition to the injury report due to the non-COVID illness. The big man missed Tuesday's win over the Raptors due to an illness, though he was able to suit up during Wednesday's loss to Detroit, during which he posted 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three steals, two rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes. If Porzingis is sidelined Friday, Al Horford, Luke Kornet (personal) and Neemias Queta are all candidates for a bump in minutes.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Posts 11 points, two boards in loss Porzingis registered 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 117-97 loss to Detroit.

Impact After missing the front end of the Tuesday-Wednesday back-to-back, Porzingis didn't play particularly well against the Pistons. His 11 points were his fewest since Jan. 3, and his two boards tied his season low. He was able to salvage some fantasy value through his two three-pointers and three steals, but it was a down game from Porzingis all things considered. A tough matchup awaits Friday when the Celtics play the Cavaliers.

Will play against Detroit Porzingis (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact After being a late scratch in Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Porzingis will overcome an illness Wednesday. Over his last nine games, the star big man has averaged 20.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.2 steals in 31.7 minutes. With Jaylen Brown (thigh) out, Porzingis should see a boost in usage against Detroit.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Porzingis (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Porzingis was a late scratch Tuesday against the Raptors, though Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla said after the game that he expected him to suit up Wednesday. The questionable tag suggests that it's no longer a lock that Porzingis will receive the green light. Luke Kornet is out for personal reasons, so Al Horford, Torrey Craig and Neemias Queta may be asked to step up.

FEBRUARY 26 • ROTOWIRE

Returning to action Wednesday Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla confirmed after Tuesday's 111-101 win over the Raptors that Porzingis (illness) will be available for Wednesday's game in Detroit, Gary Washburn of...

Impact Initially announced as a starter for Tuesday's contest, Porzingis was a late scratch due to the illness, resulting in Torrey Craig entering the lineup in his stead. Mazzulla seemingly implied after the win over Toronto that Porzingis was held out as a precaution in the front end of the back-to-back set, so the star big man is unlikely to be under any major restrictions in his return to the lineup Wednesday.
