Kristaps Porzingis should be good to go for Game 2.
The Boston Celtics big man was upgraded to “probable” for Wednesday’s matchup with the New York Knicks at TD Garden, a sign that he should play without any issue in the Eastern Conference semifinals game.
Porzingis played just 13 minutes in the Celtics’ 108-105 loss in Game 1 on Monday due to a non-COVID-19 illness. He tried to play through it at the start, but he lasted just 13 minutes and missed all four of his shots before Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla subbed him out midway through the second quarter.
