Won't play vs. Atlanta Porzingis (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact After dropping 23 points in 23 minutes in Friday's game against the Magic, Porzingis won't play in Saturday's game against Trae Young and company. The veteran big man seems to be back to form at this point in the season and will be missed by the Celtics taking on a talented Hawks squad. Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta could see more time on the floor Saturday, especially with Al Horford (toe) also ruled out for this game.

Flirts with double-double in loss Porzingis finished with 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 0-2 3Pt), eight boards, three assists, two blocks and a steal through 35 minutes in Wednesday's 110-97 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Prior to Wednesday's contest, the veteran big man had logged three straight double-doubles. Against the Raptors he narrowly missed out on what would've been his fourth, but contributed on the defensive side of the ball as well to round out a nice showing from a fantasy perspective. He's back in action Friday against the Magic.

Displays two-way play in win Porzingis ended with 19 points (7-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 34 minutes during Sunday's 120-119 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Porzingis had a strong outing Sunday, doing it on both ends of the floor while concluding as one of two players with a double-double. Porzingis led all Celtics in blocks while recording team-high-tying marks in threes made and rebounds in a winning effort. Porzingis matched his season high in rebounds, also doing so Jan. 7 against Denver. Porzingis has recorded a double-double in three outings this year, all of which have taking place in the last three games.

Takes advantage inside during win Porzingis posted 25 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 118-106 victory over Denver.

Impact Nikola Jokic's (illness) absence left the door wide open for Porzingis to dominate the paint, and he finished with his first double-double of the season. While it's surprising to note that Porzingis was without a double-double before Tuesday's game, the big man's attendance record hasn't helped his bottom line. He's missed a total of 23 games this season, and is still dealing with a lingering ankle injury.

Jayson Tatum scores 29, Porzingis adds 25 as Celtics hold off depleted Nuggets 118-106

Nears double-double in defeat Porzingis racked up 19 points (6-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 105-92 loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact The big man came one rebound shy of a double-double while scoring the club's third-highest mark in points behind Jayson Tatum (26 points) and Jaylen Brown (21 points). However, Porzingis was inefficient from beyond the arc Sunday, and he is on pace to shoot only 32.9 percent from downtown this season, which would be his second-lowest mark from three-point range over his nine-year career. The Celtics continue to manage Porzingis' playing time following a four-game absence due to an ankle injury, though he'll likely see a slight bump in minutes during his third outing back in another marquee matchup against the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Goes for 11 points in return Porzingis (ankle) tallied 11 points (3-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and two assists across 28 minutes in Friday's 109-86 win over the Rockets.

Impact Porzingis didn't seem to be operating under any major restrictions in his return from a four-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, as he was on the court for 28 of the first 43 minutes of the contest before the Celtics subbed out all of their starters by the 4:53 mark of the fourth quarter. Assuming Sunday's matchup with the 29-5 Thunder proves to be a more competitive, expect Porzingis to see a slight uptick in his playing time in his second game back from the ankle injury.

Celtics injury report: Kristaps Porzingis returns vs. Rockets; Jaylen Brown still sidelined After a four-game absence, Kristaps Porzingis made his return to the Celtics’ lineup Friday night in Houston.

JANUARY 4 • BOSTONHERALD.COM

Will play Friday against Houston Porzingis (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Rockets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Porzingis has been sidelined for Boston's last four games due to a left ankle sprain he suffered against Philadelphia on Christmas Day. He started in eight of the Celtics' nine games prior to his injury, and over that span he averaged 17.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.8 blocks over 27.4 minutes per game. Porzingis should be in the starting lineup for Friday's game due to Al Horford (rest) sitting for the second leg of the Celtics' back-to-back set.

Questionable against Houston Porzingis (ankle) has been listed as questionable against the Rockets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Porzingis appears to be inching closer to returning to the floor for the Celtics. The veteran big man missed the last four games while dealing with an ankle injury, which resulted in Al Horford starting at center for Boston, who struggled to shoulder the load.

JANUARY 2 • Associated Press

Ruled out against Minnesota Porzingis (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Porzingis will miss a fourth straight game for the Celtics on Thursday. Al Horford will likely remain a starter, with Porzingis still on the mend. However, Horford hasn't played well over the last two games, with only five points combined while going 2-for-19 from the field.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

May play on Thursday Porzingis (ankle) let it be known that it is possible he may play on Thursday against the Timberwolves, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porzingis has missed the last three games due to his ankle injury but seems to be trending toward returning sooner rather than later. The veteran big man has played in only 11 games this season and has been productive, averaging 18.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game.
