Kristaps Porzingis (calf) to miss Celtics' tournament quarterfinal

Boston Celtics star Kristaps Porzingis has been ruled out of Monday's in-season tournament quarterfinal against the Indiana Pacers as he continues to recover from a left calf strain.

Porzingis suffered the injury on Nov. 24 in a loss to the Orlando Magic and has missed Boston's last three games.

Coach Joe Mazzulla said last Sunday that the former All-Star would be reevaluated "after a week or so."

Porzingis has been enjoying a strong first season with the Celtics, averaging nearly 19 points on 54.7% shooting from the field.
