When Kristaps Porzingis was injured, all the alarms went off. They quickly began to talk about weeks, that perhaps he would not be able to play until a hypothetical NBA Finals… The initial blow was big – as is normal -, but luckily for Boston Celtics fans it seems that the strain suffered in the soleus is less serious than initially thought.
«It’s definitely better than we thought. I don’t know what his timeline is for coming back, but I know his mentality and he’s really striving to come back as quickly as possible. He does a great job of taking care of himself. He is already walking a little better and every day he is there doing whatever is necessary to try to return as quickly as possible. I appreciate it that way,” says Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla on 98.5. The Sports Hub.
According to Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston, optimism has been growing in Boston following positive signs with the recovery of its player. The last of them came a couple of days ago, when he was seen with his teammates on the training pitch. He only took a few shots without movement, but it is an important step forward.

Although it has been assumed that Boston can reach the Finals without the Latvian center, the reality is that his presence on the court can be differential, especially if a tie becomes complicated as can happen with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Those from Ohio have risen after falling in the first game, beating the Greens 94-118 to take home-court advantage. There may be more battle than expected.
