This is why KP fit so much better in Boston – they can afford his injuries due to their depth. He isn’t being asked to be their 2nd best player night after night — just one of their top 6.
Injuries suck – and it sucks that they made it impossible for KP to work out here. – 11:52 AM

Porzingis injury does add some intrigue to #Celtics free agency. Kornet, Tillman, Brissett are free agents. Queta has a team option it’s hard to not see the team picking up. Having all 3 of the others gave Boston enormous flexibility when KP was out. Might have to choose 1 now. – 11:47 AM

Kristaps Porzingis is out for the next 5-6 months after undergoing leg surgery according to the Celtics. With opening night less than four months away, Boston’s priority heading into free agency should be quite clear masslive.com/celtics/2024/0… – 10:38 AM

The Celtics have announced that Kristaps Porzingis underwent surgery today and will return in 5 to 6 months. That means he’ll miss the start of the season and return somewhere around November or December. – 10:35 AM

I’ve been saying for a few weeks that Porzingis will be out until Christmas, so this isn’t all that surprising – 10:35 AM

Bob Manning: Wow. This is also something from Brad Stevens on Russillo: “Kristaps Porzingis, after his surgery, we don’t know exactly when he’ll be back, but he’ll probably miss at least the very start of the season. So that’ll be a great opportunity for us to do things different and have to find different solutions.” -via Twitter @RealBobManning / June 26, 2024

Jared Weiss: Brad Stevens says Kristaps Porziņģis will have surgery soon and they will have a timeline for recovery from there. He is still consulting with doctors on the treatment plan. He will miss the Olympics because he needs surgery now to be able to recover back to playing condition. -via Twitter @JaredWeissNBA / June 25, 2024
