Kristaps Porzingis, the 7-foot-2 Latvian center for the Boston Celtics, is facing uncertainty regarding his participation in Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks due to a rare tendon injury in his lower left leg. The injury occurred during the third quarter of Game 2, which the Celtics won to take a 2-0 series lead.
Porzingis, who is listed as day-to-day, expressed his determination to play in the upcoming game but acknowledged that the final decision rests with the medical staff. The injury involves a tear in the tissue that holds tendons in place, distinct from a previous right calf strain that sidelined him for 10 playoff games.
