Kristaps Porzingis sits out fourth game in a row, but is getting closer to returning for the Celtics

Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis missed Thursday night’s matchup against the Suns, which marks the fourth game in a row he has been sidelined by a right hamstring strain.

Porzingis participated in a pregame workout with the team and is making good progress toward a return, coach Joe Mazzulla said.

“He’s getting better and better,” Mazzulla said. “He was out there on the court today and he’s progressing. I don’t think it’s long-term. I think you just kind of see how it is day-to-day, but he’s getting steps, feeling good, and he was out there working today with the guys.
