Kristaps Porzingis' injury not season-ending?
Adam Himmelsbach: Was told by several sources today that the lack of a definitive timeline for Porzingis’s return was due to the fact that the team just doesn’t know yet. They’ll be cautious and see how he responds to treatment, but no one is viewing this as a season-ending injury.

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

I hope KP is ok and doesn’t miss much time … but this is the KP experience. He’s a very good player who has had a lot of trouble staying on the court.
Health, not play (despite that idiotic decision to make him stand in the corner for a PO series), doomed his Mavs tenure. – 9:38 AM

1. Rally is too little, too late.
2. Derrick White proves too much.
3. Too little from Robinson, Love.
4. Too short a night for Porzingis.
5. Adebayo needs help, too. – 7:48 AM

Jeff Stotts: Re: Kristaps 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).
