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.

Dice @InStreetClothes que el desgarre de sóleo (pantorrilla/gemelo) en la NBA requiere un promedio de 17 días de recuperación.
Si aplicamos ese promedio, Kristaps Porzingis se perdería la segunda vuelta de playoffs.
Giannis lleva tres semanas fuera. Veremos en el caso de KP. pic.twitter.com/wafITerHWO – 6:28 PM

#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
