Author of a discreet first half against the Heat during Game 4 between Miami and Boston, Kristaps Porzingis was injured alone on a false move just before the break. The image is a little scary, because the Celtics center immediately feels pain that we can guess is significant. He did not return to the game, and examinations are forthcoming to clarify the nature and seriousness of the problem.
Adrian Wojnarowski wanted to be reassuring in a tweet: according to the insiderESPN, Kristaps Porzingis would not suffer, after initial assessment from the Celtics staff, from a major injury. Examinations are nevertheless planned during the day, to obtain clear information on the physical situation of the pivot. He injured himself on some kind of wrong movement of his right leg, and walked directly, in pain, to his bench. He immediately went to the locker room, and did not return from the game.

Author of 14 points, 7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in the first 3 games of the series, the interior had a very complicated Game 2, in particular because of the very good tactical adjustments proposed by Erik Spoelstra to prevent him from enjoying preferential positions in attack. An important element of Boston defensively and offensively where his presence allows to open spaces for other players, his absence could be detrimental if a guy like Bam Adebayo were to catch fire. Information regarding the precise diagnosis of his injury will be available later today.
