Kristaps Porzingis of the Celtics left Monday's playoff game against the Knicks due to a non-COVID illness, which he has previously struggled with for months. Coach Mazzulla acknowledged that while Porzingis was fighting through symptoms since returning earlier in the season, his condition became overwhelming during this crucial game. This illness could be linked to an unidentified viral issue from earlier in the year, as Porzingis has had a challenging season, missing substantial playing time due to various injuries and health concerns. His current status remains uncertain as the playoffs continue.
Since he came back, I think he's kind of been dealing with it on and off, fighting through it, working through it, doing the best that he can.
I didn't know that was going to happen until I found out about it in that game. He had been working through it since he's gotten back.
