Celtics Porzingis Injured Could Miss Multiple Games

Boston Celtics Take Control of Series With Game 4 Win Over Heat

Celtics' Porzingis Injured, Could Miss Multiple Games

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is expected to miss several games with a right soleus strain, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The injury occurred during Game 4 of the Celtics' Eastern Conference Semifinal series against the Miami Heat.

The Celtics took a commanding 3-1 series lead in Game 4 with a 102-88 victory, but the injury to Porzingis cast a shadow over the win. Porzingis, who has been a key contributor for the Celtics this season, is averaging 15.6 points and 9.3 rebounds per game in the playoffs.

The Celtics will now have to face the Heat in Game 5 on Wednesday without Porzingis. The team is hopeful that he will be able to return later in the series, but his status will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis.

Conclusion

The Celtics' victory over the Heat was a significant step towards reaching the Eastern Conference Finals. However, the injury to Porzingis is a major concern for the team. The Celtics will need to find a way to replace his production if they want to continue their playoff run.
