Kristaps Porzingis returned to play for the Celtics as they attempted to close out the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the NBA Finals

JUNE 17, 2024 • Associated Press

Expected to play in Game 5 Coach Joe Mazzulla said to expect Porzingis (lower leg) to play in Game 5 of the NBA Finals against Dallas on Monday, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Porzingis was ruled out ahead of Game 3 after suffering a left posterior tibialis dislocation in the third quarter of Game 2. He got the green light for Game 4 but didn't see any playing time during the blowout loss. However, with the Celtics looking to close out the series at home, Porzingis won't have any restrictions, though it remains unclear if he'll be in the starting lineup. In Game 1, his first appearance after a 10-game absence due to a calf injury, Porzingis scored 20 points (8-13 FG) and blocked three shots in 21 minutes.

Celtics injury report: Kristaps Porzingis upgraded for Game 5 vs. Mavericks It's unclear how much Kristaps Porzingis will be available to contribute in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Available for Game 5 Porzingis (lower leg) is available for Monday's Game 5 of the NBA Finals versus the Mavericks.

Impact Porzingis suffered a left posterior tibialis dislocation in the third quarter of Game 2, but was listed as available ahead of Game 4 despite not playing in the blowout loss. The 28-year-old went through warmups before Game 5, and looked comfortable during light workouts with the Celtics' coaches and training staff. It is unclear whether head coach Joe Mazzulla will put the big man to use, especially after saying he is not near 100 percent and would only be used sparingly, if at all, prior to Game 4. Porzingis could potentially return for Game 5, but with the Celtics still garnering a 3-1 series advantage, the team could choose to limit his minutes severely, if he plays at all.

JUNE 16, 2024 • MASSLIVE.COM

Questionable for Game 5 Porzingis (lower leg) is questionable for Monday's Game 5 of the NBA Finals versus the Mavericks, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Porzingis is in jeopardy of missing his third straight game with a left posterior tibialis dislocation. The big man played in the first two games of the NBA Finals, accumulating 32 points, 10 rebounds, five blocks and an assist while shooting 12-for-20 from the field. Prior to Game 4, head coach Joe Mazulla said that Porzingis is not 100 percent and he will only play if the Celtics desperately need him, which is unlikely with the team still holding a 3-1 series lead heading into Game 5 at home.

Warming up Friday Porzingis (lower leg) was out on the court warming up ahead of Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Mavericks on Friday.

Impact Porzingis is still officially listed as questionable Friday after missing Game 3 with a left posterior tibialis dislocation. While an official determination of Porzingis' status will likely be made closer to tipoff at 8:30 ET, he seems to be moving well, which bodes well for his availability moving forward in the series.

Celtics offer little on Porzingis after leg injury kept him out of Game 3 of the NBA Finals

The Celtics didn't have much to say about the status of Kristaps Porzingis after the Boston big man missed Game 3 of the NBA Finals against Dallas with a rare lower left leg injury

JUNE 13, 2024 • Associated Press

Celtics injury report: Kristaps Porzingis status unclear for Game 4 There's still a chance Kristaps Porzingis plays in the NBA Finals after he sat Game 3.

JUNE 13, 2024 • MASSLIVE.COM

Officially deemed questionable Porzingis (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Friday, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porzingis is in danger of missing his second straight contest Friday after sitting out Game 3 with a left posterior tibialis dislocation. However, Porzingis was seen going through shootaround Thursday and it is a good sign that Boston hasn't ruled him out for the series. If Porzingis remains sidelined, Al Horford and Xavier Tillman will likely continue to receive increased playing time.

Goes through shootaround Porzingis (lower leg) was seen shooting around during Thursday's practice, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Celtics have yet to release an official injury report for Game 4 on Friday after Porzingis missed Game 3 with a left posterior tibialis dislocation. While it's still unclear if the 28-year-old big man will be able to suit up, it seems as though he will have at least a chance of playing again in the NBA Finals. If Porzingis is ultimately deemed available, he will likely continue to serve as Boston's backup center behind Al Horford.

JUNE 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hopes to play in Game 4 Coach Joe Mazzula said Thursday that Porzingis (lower leg) is getting better and "fighting hard" to play in Game 4 on Friday, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Porzingis didn't play in Game 3 due to a left posterior tibialis dislocation and is in danger of missing the remainder of the NBA Finals. However, if Porzingis is able to suit up, he will provide a big boost to Boston's frontcourt, as he averaged 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in 22.0 minutes across the first two games of the series.
