Run It Back: “Kristaps Porzingis has a right soleus strain, so this is a calf strain… I’m told this is going to be treated like a week to week injury, could be 1-2 weeks for Kristaps Porzingis, could be even longer than that based on his rehab.” @ShamsCharania on Kristaps Porziņģis’ injury

#Celtics without Porzingis in this series: 87 min. +22.9 121 OR 98 DR.
Only 9 min. so far for Kornet, but BOS went -47 during them. Seeing how Horford rises to major minutes and the bench fares while pulling Kornet, Tillman, maybe even Brissett/Queta into action worth watching – 1:52 PM

Re: Porzingis: KP suffered the same injury that is currently keeping Giannis sidelined. As I mentioned then, the soleus is a part of the calf muscle complex. The average time lost for strains specified as a soleus injury is ~17 days (6 games). Read more here: – 5:07 PM

One case for the Celtics being OK in the short term…
Boston has played more minutes this year with KP off the floor (57.4% of them), than on.
And in those minutes, they’ve not only been elite (+11.8 Net Rating), they were actually better than when he was on the floor (+11.2). – 4:25 PM

Ill prob be in the air when the KP update comes out. Whatever the timeline is, this is always an injury that demands caution. He’s talked about being willing to play through some of his regular season ailments, but have to also think beyond this yr. C’s can afford to take it slow – 12:08 PM

More on this storyline
Bobby Manning: Joe Mazzulla said on 98.5 that Kristaps Porzingis will be evaluated in one week. That knocks him out of the rest of this series, however long it goes, and at least the beginning of the next one. Game 1 of R2 will either start on Sunday or Tuesday. -via Twitter @RealBobManning / May 1, 2024
Horford was hoping for the best. But in the moments after Porziņģis called for a sub and limped off the court, Horford already was steeling himself for the coming challenge. That challenge further crystallized Tuesday when the Celtics announced Porziņģis’ diagnosis, a right soleus strain. Though he avoided a more threatening issue, such as a dreaded Achilles injury, the calf problem could keep him on the shelf for a while. According to InStreetClothes.com, an injury resource, soleus strains come with an average time lost of approximately 17 days. If the Celtics finish off the Miami Heat in the first round, that timeline would sideline Porziņģis for most of the second round, if not all of it. A more severe strain could force Porziņģis out of the lineup even longer than that. -via The Athletic / May 1, 2024
