Boston Celtics forward Kristaps Porzingis is expected to have his left calf re-evaluated in about a week or so.
Porzingis suffered a left calf injury on November 24 against the Orlando Magic in the middle of the third quarter and didn’t return to the game.
Porzingis has appeared in 15 games for the Celtics this season. He’s averaging 18.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.7 blocks while shooting 54.7% from the field, 32.4% from beyond the arc and 80.0% from the free-throw line.
NBA NEWS & RUMORS: Kristaps Porzingis, Boston Celtics Updates
Porzingis and Celtics swingman Jaylen Brown have developed great chemistry on the court. The two stars have connected on many alley-oops.
“I absolutely love playing with JB,” Porzingis said. “I think we’re starting to connect more and more and it’s becoming just natural for us. If he comes off and he wants the handoff, boom, I hand it to him. I start rolling, he kind of plays that game a little bit, and he either finishes or throws the lob and he’s making it easy for me. I’m learning his game, I’m learning the situations he likes to be in, and as you could see, we’re having some success with it. It’s really fun to play with him and I look forward to more of those plays.”
