Headline: Kristaps Porzingis Powers Celtics to Victory with Stellar Double-Double Against Jazz

Struggling with health issues between February and March, Kristaps Porzingis made his comeback one week ago and has since been essential for the Boston Celtics.

In his team’s recent victory, they secured a 121-99 win against the Utah Jazz while on the road. Porzingis recorded a double-double with 27 points and 10 rebounds, in addition to 6 assists. He finished the night shooting 9 of 15 from the field, including 3 of 5 from beyond the arc, and went a flawless 6 for 6 at the free-throw line.

“I’m not at my peak, but we’re focused on creating more opportunities, which is helping everything come together. We’re aiming to play with freedom and selflessness,” he stated.
