    Soleus strain is the same injury Giannis has and he’s been out for a few weeks and not very close to returning yet…

  2. I have never heard of this injury, is this something that will cost more than this game?

  3. I have no idea what’s a soleus but good thing it’s only a strain

  4. Traditional_Pain_875

    He can’t step foot on the court until at least the ECF. Let’s hope our guys can take care of shit without him

  5. Apprehensive_Let_828

    Hopefully just a grade 1. Shouldn’t need any Tingus in round 2 whether that be Cavs or Magic.

  6. We should be able to close out this series and beat either the Magic or Cavs without him. That buys what, maybe 2ish weeks? Honestly with our perimeter defense we should be able to get by the Knicks without him too. Obviously would be easier with, but still

    Guys dont forget that Giannis was coming back from achilies problem.

    That could make Giannis problems even bigger

    Is this all we’re getting? We already knew all of this. Gotta say it’s a bit worrying that the Celtics aren’t saying the grade, if it was good news you’d think the Celtics would have come out and said it by now

    An injured celtics team vs the magic in round 2. Deju vu

    They definitely shouldn’t rush him. Durant suffered the same injury in 2019 WCSF and was rushed for Game 5 of the Finals.

    He ended up tearing his Achilles and was out the next season.

  11. Hogo-Nano

    Honestly this is ideal and means he could return in the ecf at some point

  12. NotFlipkid

    He’s done for the rest of the postseason stop speculating

  13. derekgoodspeed

    As expected, they released the bare minimum amount of info. I’d be shocked if it’s only a grade 1. If KP’s coming back, it won’t be until the late ECFs/Finals. This team can get there without him.

  14. DoomdUser

    This js not the worst possible news, but he’s probably going to miss the next series. Google, including academic journals, is saying 21 days.

  15. Gotta win Wednesday. Hope Magic/Cavs goes 7 games. Plenty of rest and maybe we take 2 early in the next series and he can sit until ECF. Magic and Cavs both are very beatable and inconsistent.

  16. Based on what I’ve seen and read, the grade matters. We do not know the grade. This is the same injury Giannis has and he had grade 2. Based on a quick google search it says grade 1 is ‘1 to 3 weeks’.

    Can anyone shed light on this type of injury that may know more?

  17. All in all I would say this is a win. Certainly looked like it could have been an Achilles the way he went out. Luckily the East is extremely weak this year so we *should* be able to get through without him. And I don’t think it’s overly optimistic to expect he would be back and at full speed were we to make it to the finals-where we will obviously need him a lot more

  18. All things considered, that seems pretty good. Seems like something that is 2-3 week recovery.

    I guess let’s just hope for a 7 game series between Cleveland and Orlando. Anything to buy a few more days.

    Jamal Murray came back after a calf strain and iced the lakers last night so…..who can tell. We will see, all we know is KP is missing game 5 and rightfully so. The Cleveland series going to 7.

    He won’t miss a chance to pwn New York.

  20. Organic_Climate_7585

    Hopefully it’s not severe and he’s back really soon. ECFs start 3 weeks from now so that gives us a decent cushion. We’re 21-4 without KP this season. The rest of the guys can hold it down in the meantime.

  21. Celtics should easily win the semis with or without him. Just hoping he’s back by the conference finals.

  22. Opening_Outside_5788

    No Porzingis? I got 3 names Kornet, Tillman and Queta the stay ready gang got this one

  23. TheCoupDeGrace

    Ideally he’ll be back for ECF. This is good news, people – yesterday everyone was worried about an Achilles. We have to take Cavs or Magic seriously, but let’s face it, they’re not teams we need all hands on deck for.

  24. Good thing Luke has been amping up his intensity. I think it’s all to do with KP.
