Boston Celtics fans will be disappointed to hear that power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis will not be able to play in Saturday's game against the LA Clippers. The 28-year-old athlete suffered a left ankle sprain during the third quarter of the Celtics' dominant 143-110 victory over the Miami Heat on Thursday.
This season, Porzingis has been a key contributor for the Celtics, averaging 19.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.8 blocks per game. These impressive numbers reflect his importance to the team's success. Acquired from the Washington Wizards in a trade last June, Porzingis is currently in his first season with the Celtics.
