Boston supporters enjoyed seeing the Celtics utterly destroy the Heat in Miami on Thursday night. Kristaps Porzingis, the big man for the C team, hobbled off the court during the third quarter, which was not fun to watch.
Fortunately, Porzingis wasn’t down after Boston defeated them 143-110 (that’s not a typo), and he doesn’t think the injury is serious.
In the third quarter, Porzingis landed on the foot of Heat forward Bam Adebayo and twisted his ankle trying to stop the shot. After collapsing, Porzingis hobbled off the floor and into the Boston locker room.
It was encouraging that a comeback was taken into consideration because he was ultimately categorized as unlikely to return.
I’m feeling quite okay right now, but it got me really good right then,” he told reporters. “In general, an injured ankle is not a huge problem, therefore I would have definitely played if the circumstances called for it. However, it made sense to sit out at that time in the game.”
Porzingis stated that he anticipated the ankle swelling during the journey back to Boston and that by Friday, they ought to have a better understanding of the ailment.
“As of right now, feeling pretty good and staying positive,” he stated.
Therefore, it would seem like the Celtics may exhale with ease. It truly only takes a serious injury to one of the team’s studs to send the 35-10 Celtics into meltdown mode.
