Kristaps Porzingis (right knee inflammation) won’t play tonight, per the Celtics. It’s the second night of a back to back during a hectic stretch of games.

Luke’s All star game incoming
Is the rest of our injury report clean?
Seeing woj tweet KP’s name almost gave me a heart attack.
We’ve got 7 more back-to-backs this season including tonight. Rest him for all of them:
1/22 – Mavs
1/29 and 1/30 – Pelicans or Pacers
2/13 – Nets
3/11 – Blazers
3/17 and 3/18 – Wizards or Pistons
3/22 and 3/23 – Pistons or Bulls
4/12 – Hornets
Jays have to snap out of the slump or we will lose this one big.
It’s crazy that we used to need them to both have huge games to win, now if both don’t show up Jrue/White/KP will carry.
We can all now agree that they’re using *Knee Inflammation* as a rest injury right?
Deserved rest
“right knee inflammation” from kicking too much ass last night amirite?
No KP revenge game then 🙁 , watch out for Grant revenge game :@
Hectic stretch of games also known as the NBA season. Never change Jay
JT will actually give some effort against Mavs. He always want to try against Luka
Imflammation because Al came back 😀
I genuinely wonder how his injury maintenance is going affect him for the playoffs. Will he continue to need time off, or will he be able to play as there’s no back to backs in the playoffs. Assuming he suffers no further injuries, the answer to this question will most likely be a big determining factor in how far we go.
Damn KP might not get All-NBA this season if he misses a few more games . Not that it’s #1 priority but it sucks cause his offense and defense has made him such a valuable 2 way player this year. Could’ve legit been 3rd team
Eh I’d rather he’s rested properly throughout the regular season so he can be 100% ready to go and reliable in the playoffs.
Wanted to see him play against the Mavs, well he’ll get a bunch of rest for the Heat
classic rest and the celtics playing so many games this past month or so
