Kristaps Porzingis is grappling with a lingering illness that has affected his performance during the playoffs, particularly in a loss to the Knicks. Despite returning to the court, he logged limited minutes and struggled to score, reflecting ongoing health issues. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla acknowledged Porzingis's battle with the illness and mentioned that it has had an impact on his play. With the team down 0-2 in the series, Porzingis's performance is further compounded by frustration over his inability to contribute fully.
It's tough for me, honestly. But who cares? Nobody feels sorry for us, sorry for me - and we have to keep going.
Since he came back, I think he's kind of been dealing with it on and off, fighting 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.
I'm dealing with some - I don't know how to call it. I'm just not feeling my best. I’m not feeling my best at all.
