“Kristaps Porziņģis has a right soleus strain, so this is a calf strain…I’m told this is going to be treated like a week to week injury, could be 1-2 weeks for Kristaps Porziņģis, could be even longer than that based on his rehab.”

We’re going to hear the exact same thing so many times over the next couple of weeks. No one knows anything regarding a specific timeline other than that this injury is highly unlikely to be season ending (as long as we get out of the first round that is). Imo there’s no chance we see him in round 2. Based on how cautious they were with him all year I expect the team will continue that strategy and we *might* see him in a potential ECF at some point. How the team is doing could also play in to it. Like if we’re down 0-2 or 1-2 in the ECF maybe he comes back a little earlier
the pop at TD when he walks to the scorers table for the first time gonna be crazy

Honestly if he were healthy for round 2 I’d still sit him. Wrap him in bubble wrap until the finals.
Sounds like a grade 1 if only 1 week out is on the table.
Don’t make the same mistake as Rob Williams
Okay so I guess we need to come around to the fact that KP will be out for all of round 2. That way if he comes back earlier great, but unlikely
This has tightened my sphincter
This is what we signed up for, I guess it’s too much to ask for a healthy 2 months. Plenty of other teams are dealing with stuff too but still… 🙄
I imagine we won’t see him back until the finals (if we make it there) which Id be fine with
We made it to, and had a chance to win, the finals without a healthy Rob. This shouldn’t change our trajectory all that much, assuming he’s back in some capacity for the finals
The team has the talent to make it to the finals without him. I’m less clear the team has enough to win the finals without him but hopefully he’s back by then
Unfortunately every team in the east has suffered from injuries so Boston just needs to push through this and hope KP gets back to form
Well best to mentally prepare for him to be out for a month so to not want to off myself
This sounds like the best-case scenario to me
Bathe him in bpc-157
Honestly if the Jays can’t get us out of the Eastern Conference themselves this year it’s highly disappointing. Hopefully they light it up and there’s no need to rush him
