Kristaps Porzingis was limited once again in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, playing just 11 minutes in the Celtics’ 119-81 season-ending loss to the Knicks.
A mystery illness plagued the Celtics’ star big throughout the series, which caused him to play just 15.5 minutes per game against the Knicks as he battled fatigue. Porzingis admitted that he felt tired once again following Friday’s loss, saying that he was “cashed.”
The illness Porzingis dealt with also caused his play to drop significantly. He only scored 4.2 points per game while shooting a measly 24 percent from the field, with the Celtics getting outscored by 24 points in the time he was on the court during the series.
