Celtics might regret Kristaps Porzingis trade if latest development continues
Latvia v Serbia: Group A - FIBA EuroBasket 2025 | Rokas Lukosevicius/GettyImagesKristaps Porzingis’ Boston Celtics tenure came to a sad ending earlier this summer when he was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in a second-apron-inspired move. Porzingis had been a fan-favorite and a great locker room guy in Boston.
Unfortunately, the final chapter in his Celtics story was tragic. The big man was hindered by a lingering illness in the 2025 NBA Playoffs and struggled immensely. He averaged 7.7 points and 4.6 rebounds while shooting 31.3% from the field and 15.4% from deep across 11 postseason appearances this spring.
