Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is currently sidelined due to a viral illness, as he announced via social media. Although the illness is not fully diagnosed, he indicated he feels he is recovering and is eager to return to full strength for his team. Coach Joe Mazzulla noted Porzingis is actively trying to stay involved by attending practices and games. The organization seems untroubled by his situation, possibly viewing it as a chance for him to rest ahead of the playoffs, with Boston performing well in his absence.
"I have been dealing with some viral illness that we haven't been able to fully identify yet. I am recovering and getting better."
"He's coming into the facility every day trying to get shots up, sweat it out. He's just not feeling well. He is working to get back."
