BOSTON (AP) — Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is available to play in Game 2 of Boston's Eastern Conference semifinal matchup with the New York Knicks.
Porzingis, who didn’t play in the second half of Boston’s loss in Game 1 on Monday due to illness, was upgraded from probable to available about a half-hour before Wednesday night's game. Reserve Sam Hauser will not play after spraining his ankle in the series opener.
Porzingis was 0 for 4 in 13 minutes of the first half in Game 1, with four rebounds and an assist. Hauser missed both of his shots in four minutes of action.
