Welcome back to the Deal or No Deal series where we break down if the Celtics should bring back a certain player for the 2025-26 NBA season. If a player is under “Deal” then the player should not be brought back. If “No Deal” then the player should be brought back.
The next player is Kristaps Porzingis. In 42 games this season, Porzingis put up 19.5 PPG, 6.8 REB, and 2.1 AST on 48% shooting from the field, 41% from three, and 81% from the free throw line.
Coming off the Celtics championship run where he only played in seven playoff games due to injuries, Porzingis was set to miss the start of the 2025 season recovering from the injury he sustained in the NBA Finals.
