Kristaps Porzingis has missed the last eight games for the Boston Celtics due to an unidentified viral illness, with a potential return as soon as Saturday. Despite the illness, he has been present with the team, indicating his commitment and eagerness to return. Porzingis expressed his recovery progress on social media but did not provide specifics about his condition. The team has performed well in his absence, raising questions about their dynamic with his return. Coach Joe Mazzulla has not provided recent updates on Porzingis’s status, creating anticipation among fans.
I have been dealing with some viral illness that we haven't been able to fully identify yet. I am recovering and getting better. But still working my way back to full strength to help this team. Thanks for support and Im hoping for a healthy return soon.
Even though Porzingis has been sick, he has been with the team over their last two games. He was on the bench for Wednesday's game against the Thunder and had a pregame workout prior to Friday's game against the Heat in Miami.
Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla didn't give an update on Porzingis's status ahead of Friday's game, leaving fans eager for news regarding the player's recovery.
The viral illness has caused Porzingis to miss eight games to this point, in which Boston has gone 6-2, continuing an odd trend of better performance without the star.
