Boston: So, Kristaps Porzingis had a bit of a scare during the Celtics’ game against the Wizards. He had to leave the game in the second quarter because of some right heel pain. Fans were definitely worried when they saw him limping off the court.
But here’s the good news! After the game, Porzingis spoke to reporters and said it’s not a big deal. He mentioned that he just banged up his heel a little in the first quarter. He kept playing but decided to sit out as a precaution when it started bothering him more.
He said, “It’s nothing major, honestly. More like a precautionary thing.” That’s a relief, right? He even mentioned he’s had similar issues before and feels confident he’ll be fine.
With a few days off before their next game against the Bulls, it sounds like the Celtics are taking the right approach. They’ve been doing great without him, but keeping him healthy for the playoffs is super important.
So, if Porzingis feels good, it’ll be hard for the coach to keep him off the court on Thursday. The game starts at 7:30 p.m. ET, and fans can catch the pregame show at 6:30 p.m. on NBC Sports Boston. Exciting times ahead!
