Porzingis (calf) day-to-day, optimistic for Game 3
According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Kristaps Porzingis “suffered a torn medial retinaculum allowing dislocation of the posterior tibialis tendon,” and this “rare injury” is not related to his existing calf strain.
Advice: ESPN’s elaborated on Porzingis’ injury, noting, “Joe Mazzulla says this is a ‘serious injury,’” and, “‘He’s doing anything and everything he can to be able to play.’” Porzingis that he’s ‘optimistic’ for Game 3, but given his injury history, there’s no guarantee he’ll be available. Porzingis has averaged 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 1.5 triples across 22.0 minutes in the Finals thus far. If he’s ruled out, Al Horford would presumably take on a larger role.
