Kristaps Porzingis Out for Celtics with Ankle Injury
Kristaps Porzingis is dealing with a left ankle sprain and will not play for the Boston Celtics. The team announced that he is out due to this injury, which has been bothering him since December 25, 2024.
What It Means
This injury affects both Kristaps Porzingis and the Boston Celtics significantly. Porzingis has been a key player, averaging 18.3 points per game this season. His absence leaves a gap in the team’s scoring ability and overall performance.
The Celtics will need to rely on other players to step up in his place. Al Horford and Luke Kornet are next in line at the center position. Horford averages 8.8 points per game, while Kornet contributes 4.4 points per game. Their performance will be crucial as the team navigates games without Porzingis.
