On Saturday at the Auerbach Center, Kristaps Porzingis shared how his rehab is progressing and when he might rejoin the Celtics' playoff run.
On Friday night at the Amway Center, the Orlando Magic forced a Game 7 in their first-round series vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers. That's welcome news for the Boston Celtics , who are temporarily without Kristaps Porzingis .
"I'm getting better every day. So, in a good mood today and every day, I would say. But, of course, it sucks to be out and not be able to play with my guys, but doing what I can now to come back as soon as possible." The 28-year-old center suffered a similar injury in a loss to the Magic the day after Thanksgiving. However, time is a luxury no longer on his side.
"This one is stronger," stated the seven-year veteran. "Worse, yeah. I didn't want to use that word, but yeah, it's a little bit worse, for sure. And yeah, just going to take a little bit longer, probably. But keeping a positive mindset."
