Kristaps Porzingis NEW INJURY Update: Will Play Unless Celtics Say No | NBA Finals
explain in layman’s terms uh what happened and and how that affects your availability for game three and what happened uh I mean the the the tweet that we put out was pretty like expl explanatory uh it’s kind of a Rand random situation yeah and I felt something and and uh now I have to deal with it um so as as we said it’s it’s going to be day today and uh and uh see how see how I am tomorrow and obviously I’m going to do everything I can to to be out there tomorrow and uh we’ll see are you optimistic I am of course I have to be I’m going to I’m optimistic and as I said I will do everything I can to be out there tomorrow and uh and yeah we’ll see what would you have to endure and to to determine whether you know I can go or no but from my side like as I said you know there’s nothing’s going to stop me unless you know I’m I’m told not to are not allowed to play so that’s the only reason I will not be out there but Christ how much of this how much of this is just kind of another thing for you unfortunately you had that injury several weeks ago and now this is it are these stacking up on your mindset or no no I don’t care I mean I’ve been through some stuff in my career and and obviously this is a rough batch you know coming back and and having something happen right away again it’s it’s tough you know it’s very um um like just a yeah tough moment right right now you know but um feeling pretty good feeling pretty good mind is good um and and and and yeah and we’ll see you tomorrow and then just one thing the press release said that this is unrelated to what happened in Miami I remember that night though looked like first you did something to your left and then your right when you came off the court is it anything you’ve done before this injury or uh no I don’t know I mean to be honest I don’t know uh uh it was kind of a random situation it wasn’t like you know I was limping or something I this before that I was I was good and then that this happened so I don’t think it’s anything related I and I don’t know either the medical staff would know better you know so um it is what it is the other day you you die out there to playes that still apply you yeah yeah yeah no I’m I’m living by those words 100% of course of course you literally will die on the court you think I mean I hope not but if comes to that to win I guess have you been able toil down when happened yeah yeah uh he was uh going for a rebound and uh uh at the free throw line yeah I just kind of pushed and Lively’s back and and we like bumped knees and kind of like something happened so but I just kept playing for a while after that you know and then obviously towards the end I my movement was affected bit so um Joe took me out for [Music] [Music] um [Music] it’s kind of strange how it’s worked out you haven’t actually played in a game in this Arena have you given any thought to how the fans were Rea some black magic no like every time no no I’m joking um uh I don’t know no I mean the first time I came back I was not playing that game I was with Wasing I had a warm welcome here you know they even did a tribute video you know which was very unexpected for me but that was that was very nice I think uh like the organization and the people on the inside appreciated my time here and and that was very nice and obviously I have no completely no like bad feeling about this place I love the city I love the fans and it just didn’t work out you know so um I don’t expect definitely don’t expect a um a comeback like I had in New York you know so uh but uh but we will say tomorrow [Music] so you’ll be surprised you’ll be surprised if the fans would boo you every time you touch the ball the way they did B I would be but who knows this the finals maybe I get pulled just so you know they they they want to affect me you know but uh but I would be for sure said your your your mental uh when when you walked into Practice St was good I guess how are you doing mentally um considering the injury I don’t know I don’t have time to think about this too much like obviously it’s not uh ideal situation but uh who cares uh I’m here to be a soldier and and and and to try to help this team win so um I don’t know this is not not something I think about too much you said do everything that you can to be able to play tomorrow what does that actually look like what what can you do what are you working on to try to be able to get back on the court physically what am I doing what are you able to do just a lot of treatment all day treatment um and following following what the medical staff is is is making me do and that’s all I can do right now and you know we still have some time and we’ll see how I am tomorrow and P that and game three so far in the playoffs what have you done well in game three and how important is that to take the mentality into this game three here I don’t know I don’t think we are like looking oh like we were good in round two of the playoffs in game three we should be good in the finals like this this is not how we look at it you know each game is different each each team is different uh each situation is different and now coming into their house up 20 it’s uh we expect the best Dallas team to show up with the crazy crowd behind them you know so uh it’s going to be it’s going to be a big Challenge and and just because we have been good in the past doesn’t mean that it’s automatically going to happen we have to go out there and do it Christ what’s the sense you got about the risk with the injury sorry what’s the sense You’ got about the risk with the injury like if you if you play on it is there a risk of making it worse or you know causing a major issu good question I don’t know I don’t know um I don’t know uh uh I’m I don’t know last question last a little bit ago Joe described it as serious and said that they’ve taken the decision to play out of your hands what are your conversations with the coaching staff with the medical staff like right now and what are you trying to tell them to maybe win that argument yeah no let me play I Feel Good like let’s do treatment um but obviously yeah they they’re you know I cannot trick them into making me you know allowing me to play but

Play him man, it’s the finals.he got 4 months after to rest.
"Die on the court?" LOL. I doubt it. I'll bet he doesn't play the rest of the series despite being day-to-day. Some dudes are just soft and injury prone like this.
If KP Will not have a good Look or Quality Minutes in Game 3 gives some Luke Kornet minutes. Celtics Needs a balance in Front Court he can play against Dallas two big men's Gafford & Lively? I dare joe Mozulla in this matter Kornet gives you a Good Set up Screen & defense Also it works out on Tatum Side take a look at the Regular season. when Kornet gives pick & roll or Higher screen to. Tatum He gave space or Separation against the Man guarding Tatum Whoever knows in Game 3 JT got Hot🔥 and Explodes like 30pts. plus More we need to Win the Game 3 so Badly. or else's Anything happens for a Reason 😭😭😭 Celtics Got choke again! Especially KP. Situation Now 😔😔😔
Dammm this sucks guy just can’t stay healthy unfortunately
Sounds like it’s about to be a Derrick White game, next game. Should still be solid for us.
They not offering him a new contract after this season I wouldn’t
This gotta be mind games no way dude got another injury Alr
Look celtics still have depth to win nothing changes keep hunting Luka n kyrie I see white having an outstanding shooting games in Dallas keep spreading out Dallas defense have them in rotation Boston wins every time
Brought out the crisp camera for this one.
KP need REST tomorrow
If i was KP i would say ,,lemme play the last games or im leaving" thats the last time he can play before next season is coming. No Injury no HC no medical stuff would stop me to play ong
We need to get this Ring so PORZI can RETIRE.. You're greatest ABILITY is AVAILABILITY
Hope porzingas is lying to the media. I think 🤔 he is fine. And he is going to play a good game 3. Without getting hurt being pulled off the court. and he need to stop jumping to much and dunking the ball to much. and just put him self in the right places on the court. and get open shots. And it looks like Luka should copy with his problem 🤣 because jaylen brown is busting Lukas behind. And I am telling you. Luka is not championship caliber. He is just a globetrotter to me🤣.
we love you KP
Can this injury be career ending if you play trough it?
love that he's keeping his spirit up. everyone send positive energy KP's way 🙌🏾
If he plays, play him limited minutes. The jays will understand the urgency to step up in games 3 and 4.
wait he speaks spanish? 😮
He'll be ight ☘️
This just went from a sweep/5 games to a 6 or 7 game series. GG's.
Why did Derrick Lively say he was going to “get into Porzingis’ sh*t” and then literally shove his knee into Kristaps’ the very next game? Seems like a dirty player. Rookie should have more respect for a former Mavericks center in my opinion.
He speaks better Spanish then English
I hope he comes back in game 3 if not we can still beat them.
Porzingas is a great player, BUT he’s been injured so much in his career that he has learned to be evasive to the press about talking about it. Evasive enough where its like pulling teeth to know where in his leg this latest injury is located. You’ll be lucky to see him play 50 games of a regular season or more than one or two teams during the playoffs. Kyrie Irving is another player who isn’t going to give you more than 50 games in a regular season. Professional sports seasons are definitely too long. Players are breaking down. The intensity is too much to expect playing as long as they do.
At his best KP is an all star caliber player, but he's hurt all the fucking time. This guy only played in 57 games this year.
this man is playing tonight.. Genius Mazzula to confuse the Mavs. Vamos Cs
