Outstanding in Game 5 victory Kornet closed Wednesday's 127-102 victory over New York in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 10 points (5-5 FG), nine rebounds, one assist, seven blocks and one stea...

Impact Kornet started the second half since Kristaps Porzingis was ineffective, and he ended up dazzling while also sniffing a triple-double -- he finished just one rebound and three blocks from doing so. Don't be surprised if Kornet receives a bigger role in the rest of the series against New York, and that should translate directly into a marked increase of his fantasy upside.

Has monster Game 5 Kornet chipped in 10 points (5-5 FG), nine rebounds, one assist, seven blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 127-102 win over the Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Co...

Impact With Kristaps Porzingis battling through an illness, Boston turned to Kornet for extended action, and Kornet delivered. The 29-year-old swatted a career-high seven shots - five in the third quarter - and fell one rebound shy of a double-double. It's unclear how healthy Porzingis will be for Friday's Game 6, but Kornet may have done enough to earn more minutes after combining for 18 minutes in his previous two appearances.

Increased role Wednesday Kornet posted six points (3-4 FG), eight rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 91-90 loss to New York in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Impact Kornet played a handful of extra minutes with Kristaps Porzingis continuing to struggle with an illness. The issue has been bothering Porzingis for more than a month now, meaning Kornet is going to have to stay ready. Both he and Al Horford will need to play better if the Celtics are to turn the series around, starting with Game 3 in New York on Saturday.

Plays well off bench Kornet had nine points (3-3 FG, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 win over the Magic in Game 5 of the first round...

Impact Kornet had a minimal role prior to Tuesday, but with Kristaps Porzingis picking up a few fouls and the Celtics running away with this game early, Kornet capitalized on some garbage time. Through five postseason games, Kornet is averaging 3.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 16.4 minutes. He's unlikely to see a spike in playing time as long as Porzingis and Al Horford are healthy.

Bench role vs. Orlando Kornet will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Magic, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Kornet started four of the last seven regular-season games for Boston, averaging 13.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks per game, shooting 67.6 percent from the field. However, he'll revert back to the second unit for Game 1 against Orlando.

Is backup Boston Celtics big man Luke Kornet a lock to play in the 2025 NBA Playoffs? Kornet has probably played well enough to earn some postseason playing time in minutes that actually matter. But will he?

Strong in paint in season finale Kornet closed with 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 93-86 win over the Hornets.

Impact Kornet did a little bit of everything in the starting lineup in Sunday's regular-season finale, leading all Celtics in blocks while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and finishing as one of four players with a double-digit scoring mark. Kornet has tallied four or more blocks in three outings this season, posting at least 10 points and eight boards on six occasions.

Returning to bench Kornet isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Kristaps Porzingis will reclaim his starting spot from Kornet after missing Boston's previous contest due to an illness. Kornet has averaged 8.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 18.9 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.

Double-doubles in win Kornet posted 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 124-90 victory over Washington.

Impact Jayson Tatum did not play Sunday against Washington due to a sprained left ankle, allowing Kornet to start in the frontcourt alongside Al Horford. The Celtics have the second seed in the Eastern Conference locked up heading into the final week of the regular season, and Kornet could see ample playing time if the Celtics rest their key players.
