Former Celtics star is falling apart with no sign of a bounce back

The Boston Celtics traded Kristaps Porzingis in a cost-cutting move this offseason, but the deal appears to have come at the perfect time. Fans saw KP limp through the playoffs with a mysterious illness weighing him down. Things failed to significantly improve during EuroBasket where Porzingis was up and down. He struggled to make shots and impress scouts in the latest sign that his best days are behind him.

The Unicorn turned 30 in August and has a lengthy injury history. He has appeared in more than 57 games just once since 2018 and averages just 52.
