Celtics' Porzingis (illness) upgraded, available for Game 2

BOSTON -- Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is available to play in Game 2 of Boston's Eastern Conference semifinal matchup with the New York Knicks.

Porzingis, who didn't play in the second half of Boston's loss in Game 1 on Monday because of an illness, was upgraded from probable to available about a half-hour before Wednesday night's game. Reserve Sam Hauser will not play after spraining his ankle in the series opener.

Porzingis was 0-for-4 in 13 minutes of the first half in Game 1, with four rebounds and an assist.
