The Celtics’ pre-Game 3 shootaround was closed to media, but Kristaps Porzingis just walked out past us — no visible limp, impairment or discomfort, with the same black sleeve over his left ankle that he had on at practice Tuesday.

I don’t understand the injury from a medical perspective beyond what I’ve seen doctors say about it on YouTube. Having said that, as a practical matter, if he really *can* still possibly play — but with a risk of further injury — I’d rather they rest him Game 3, and see how we do without him. Reassess before Game 4.
I don’t want KP to risk a career-ending injury to get us a championship.

If KP plays tonight and scores 20+ in another win, he might end up the leading candidate for FMVP.
But Game 1 was already legendary. Whether he plays impactful minutes again or not this series, we just need 2 more winssssss

I’m pretty nervous about it but I’m going to just reserve judgement either way and let the medical staff do what they do. I’ve seen way too many conflicting reports, most of which are hardly a real source.

Kristaps “curt schilling” Porzingis.

Empty the pharmacy for this guy. I want his legs as numb as I am on my way to work every day

Here’s hoping this isn’t some “JFK pretends he doesn’t need a back brace” mind games lol

Hopefully we can get even 10-15 half decent minutes out of him. As someone else said in another post KP at 70% is still likely better than Kornet or Tillman.
If he does play though I sincerely hope he doesn’t cause any sort of worse injury.

Honestly, he just needs to be able to go 6 to 8 minutes a half to give Al some rest.

He is warrior.
At the very least Dallas has to prep for him

He’s our Willis Reed.

Is it possible there is a little gamesmanship going on here?

I’m extremely nervous about him hurting himself worse.
But I also don’t know anything about his injury so I might just be being paranoid. Still nervous.

Please tell me they brought Paul’s wheelchair and its senzu bean recovery powers to Dallas for KP.
simpledeadwitches
I’d love to see him with 20 minutes off the bench, especially if those minutes as as dominant as they have been.

Even if he can stretch the floor to open the lane for the J’s it’s useful having him out there. On defense maybe zone it or something to hide him
rocket_beer
They gave him the pharmaceuticals

If we win tonight KP can sit the rest of the series

So you’re saying there’s a chance 🙂

Fully expect Mavs to keep hitting/digging into KP To get him out of the game
Need him for 10-15 minutes in 2/3 games to close this bitch out
Walking == running and jumping … which looked like a major struggle after the tweak G2. I’m hopeful but sure we’ll be seeing Kornet out there too.
Has anyone said if this injury isn’t part of what happened against Miami?
lol… research the injury. He’d be dumb to play on that.
Don’t get my hopes up like this
Out
