Head coach Joe Mazzulla revealed the latest on Kristaps Porzingis.
The 2018 NBA All-Star has been one of the team's best players, but he has missed each of the previous ten games and been unable to play since the first round of the playoffs.
Mazzulla on Saturday: "He did everything the team did. We'll go significantly harder tomorrow. Today was kind of moderate but he went through everything that the team did today."While it's not the biggest news, the update from Mazzulla is enough to show that Porzingis is making real progress. Porzingis sent out a post on X that indicated a return to action could be near."Thank you to everyone who supports and sympathizes throughout the season. I'll be back in line soon. See you in the finals ☘️ and then in the arena with your own 🇱🇻🙌"Porzingis finished his first regular season with the Celtics averaging 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.9 blocks per contest while shooting 51.6% from the field and 37.
