Kristaps Porzingis discusses his two-year tenure with the Celtics, emphasizing that the season did not conclude as desired. He acknowledges the expected roster changes following a championship win in 2024. Porzingis notes the benefits of a longer off-season for recovery and preparation for the upcoming season. Despite contributing significantly to the Celtics' success, his availability was compromised due to injuries, affecting his participation in the playoffs where he played only seven games out of nineteen due to calf and ankle issues.
"Our season (with the Celtics) didn't end last year the way we wanted to, but this is how it goes, you know. And obviously, we expected that there were going to be changes in my whole team."
"Having a little bit longer summer than usual is, it's awesome always as a player, because it's just, the NBA season is tough."
"When I was on the court, I helped turn an already strong Celtics roster into a juggernaut, with my blend of post work, rim protection, and 3-point shooting."
"Porzingis' availability was an ongoing issue during his short time with Boston, as he played in just seven of Boston's 19 playoff games that spring due to a calf issue and an ankle ailment."
