Kristaps Porzingis News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Hits for 22 in win Porzingis recorded 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 123-98 victory over the Bulls.

Impact The veteran big man continues to have trouble staying healthy -- it's been Porzingis' heel that's been bothering him of late, limiting him to 11 minutes in a Dec. 15 contest against the Wizards -- but when he's been on the court, he's been his usual productive self. He's scored at least 20 points in five of his last eight appearances, averaging 19.9 points, 7.3 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.6 assists, 1.5 blocks and 0.9 steals over that stretch.

Season-high 36 minutes Thursday Porzingis provided 20 points (7-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and three blocks over 36 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Porzingis made his usual impact on the boards and in the scoring column, also blocking a game-high three shots, but it wasn't his best night shooting the ball. The All-Star big man is now averaging an efficient 19.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.5 blocks, 0.8 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 27.5 minutes per game through eight appearances so far this year. Perhaps Thursday's most important takeaway is that Porzingis played a season-high 36 minutes, which is an encouraging sign for the Celtics and fantasy managers as the center becomes further removed from offseason foot surgery this past summer.

Will suit up Thursday Porzingis (heel) is available for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact The Celtics will receive a huge boost to their frontcourt for this game against Chicago since both Porzingis and Al Horford will be available. Porzingis has been limited to just seven appearances this season, but he's averaging 19.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 blocks across 26.3 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • MASSLIVE.COM

Questionable for Thursday Porzingis (heel) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact The questionable tag was expected after Porzingis participated in Wednesday's practice -- the Celtics want to see how his heel injury responds Thursday morning before a decision is made. Porzingis suffered the injury during Sunday's 112-98 win over the Wizards, but it was always believed to be a day-to-day issue.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes through practice Porzingis (heel) participated in Wednesday's practice, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coach Joe Mazulla said Porzingis looked good and that he was moving around well, and that bodes well for his status against the Bulls on Thursday. The Celtics want to see how his body responds to the practice, so fantasy managers could expect a potential questionable tag on the upcoming injury report.

Doesn't return Sunday Porzingis (heel) left Sunday's game against the Wizards in the second quarter and did not return.

Impact Porzignis suffered a heel injury in the second quarter and was ultimately unable to return. He concludes the contest with 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 11 minutes of action. If he is forced to miss time, Al Horford (rest) and Luke Kornet are likely to see increased roles.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • SI.COM

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.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Returns for second half Porzingis (undisclosed) returned to the court for the second half of Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Porzingis left the game in the final stages of the second quarter with a trainer following him, but it seems he wasn't dealing with anything severe. Expect the big man to handle his regular workload in the second half.

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.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday vs. Griz Porzingis is in the Celtics' starting lineup for Saturday's game against Memphis.

Impact Porzingis will return for the second leg of Boston's back-to-back Saturday, and he will be inserted into the starting five due to Al Horford (toe/rest) being sidelined. In his four games back since returning from offseason foot surgery, Porzingis has averaged 21.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals over 27.3 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Off injury report Porzingis isn't listed on the team's injury report for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Porzingis took a seat for the first half of Boston's back-to-back Friday against the Bucks, and as expected, he'll be back in action Saturday. The big man should be in line for around 30 minutes given the absence of Al Horford (toe).
