The Celtics kept their season alive on Wednesday night via a 127-102 win over the Knicks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
But even if Boston has pushed the series back to New York on Friday night, questions still remain over the health of Kristaps Porzingis.
With Jayson Tatum already sidelined with a ruptured Achilles, the Celtics continue to be dealt a tough hand with Porzingis — whose effectiveness this postseason has waned due to the lingering effects of a lengthy illness.
The 7-foot-2 Celtics big man only logged 12 minutes during Boston’s win at TD Garden on Wednesday night — finishing with just one point on 0-for-3 shooting with one rebound and one blocked shot.
