Celtics star Kristaps Porzingis said he’s ‘not super close’ to returning

Celtics star Kristaps Porzingis said he’s week to week with his soleus strain and that there’s no specific date he’s targeting for his return.

“It’s something, it’s not nothing, you know?” Porzingis told reporters Saturday. “It will take a little bit of time, for sure.”

He said this calf injury is stronger than the one he suffered during the regular season and will take a bit longer.

“It’s still pretty early,” Porzingis told reporters. “I think it will be clearer once I start doing more stuff.”

Porzingis said he rolled his ankle and may have been compensating for that when he injured his calf.
