Porzingis’ status for Game 3 in question due to ‘rare’ leg injury

Porzingis’ status for Game 3 in question due to ‘rare’ leg injury originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

The Boston Celtics have shared a discouraging update on star big man Kristaps Porzingis.

In a statement released Tuesday afternoon, the Celtics revealed Porzingis “suffered a torn medial retinaculum allowing dislocation of the posterior tibialis tendon in his left leg” during Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday. The injury, which is labeled as “rare” in the Celtics’ press release, is unrelated to the calf strain that kept Porzingis sidelined for most of the playoffs.

Porzingis is considered day-to-day, though C’s head coach Joe Mazzulla called the injury “serious.”
