The Boston Celtics face a crucial Game 2 in the Eastern Conference semi-finals against the New York Knicks, needing a win after losing Game 1 in overtime. Key player Kristaps Porzingis struggled with illness, only playing 13 minutes in the opener. Head Coach Joe Mazzulla has expressed concern about Porzingisâs ongoing health issues, which have hampered his performance throughout the playoffs. With Porzingis labeled as probable for Game 2, the Celtics will look to adjust their strategy while managing his minutes effectively as they seek to even the series.
"Bostonâs Kristaps Porzingis only played 13 minutes in Game 1 and missed the second half due to a non-COVID illness, raising concern for Game 2."
"Joe Mazzulla indicated that Porzingis may still be dealing with an upper respiratory illness, which has impacted his performance since returning in mid-March."
