Paradoxical evening for Kristaps Porzingis. Celtics insider says he felt “better physically in this match” than in Game 1 of the Finals against Dallas. However, he weighed much more in the first round than in the second, concluded with only 12 points.
In addition, he injured his left leg in the last quarter, after contact with PJ Washington. Showing signs of discomfort in his runs, he was replaced by Al Horford and did not return to the field.
We can hardly be more precise on the nature and location of his injury, because the player did not give any details.
” Yes yes. No. I do not even know “, he stammers when asked if he was hit in the ankle. “Something happened, it’s obvious, but we have a few days ahead of us. I will do my best to be there. »
Ready to “die” on the floor
So no need to worry. ” I feel good. I don't think it's serious. We will watch this Monday but it will be fine. I can play. Hits happen during matches”explains Kristaps Porzingis who missed a large part of the playoffs because of a right calf problem.
Joe Mazzulla was also very reassuring. The Celtics coach thus assured that he had not “no worries” concerning the Latvian and his presence at the next meeting. ” He is fine “, slipped the technician. For his part, the former New York player went further: “If necessary, I will die on the floor. »
