Porzingis contributed eight points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and four rebounds over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 91-90 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Porzingis came off the bench as he continues to deal with an illness, logging fewer than 15 minutes for the second straight game. The star center missed eight games in early March due to illness, and it appears it is still bothering him. Boston now trails 2-0 with the series heading back to New York. While it is likely Porzingis will play in some capacity, it is unclear just how impactful he will be moving forward.

Limited again in Game 2 loss

Porzingis contributed eight points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and four rebounds over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 91-90 loss to the Knicks in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Porzingis came off the bench as he continues to deal with an illness, logging fewer than 15 minutes for the second straight game. The star center missed eight games in early March due to illness, and it appears it is still bothering him. Boston now trails 2-0 with the series heading back to New York. While it is likely Porzingis will play in some capacity, it is unclear just how impactful he will be moving forward.
Bench role Wednesday

Porzingis will come off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Porzingis will be in the second unit Wednesday for the first time during these NBA playoffs. The veteran scorer played only 13 minutes during Game 1 due to an illness, which has resulted in Al Horford replacing him in the starting lineup for Game 2.
Cleared to play Game 2

Porzingis (illness) is available for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks on Wednesday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Porzingis played 13 minutes in Monday's Game 1 loss to New York and didn't see the court in the second half and overtime due to an illness. He was able to participate in Wednesday morning's shootaround and has been cleared to return for Game 2, though he'll come off the bench while Al Horford shifts to the starting lineup. Porzingis averaged 12.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.8 steals over 27.4 minutes during the Celtics' first-round series against the Magic. However, he connected on just 35.2 percent of his field-goal attempts (including 11.8 percent from three on 3.4 3PA/G).
Present at shootaround

Porzingis (illness) was present at Wednesday's morning shootaround, Jay King of The Athletic reports. After missing the final 2.5 quarters of Game 1 against the Knicks, Porzingis appears on track to give it a go for Game 2 -- he's currently listed as probable on the official injury report. The Celtics aren't likely to be at full strength, however, as Sam Hauser (ankle) is doubtful.
Expected to suit up Wednesday

Porzingis (illness) is probable for Wednesday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Knicks. Porzingis played 13 minutes in the first half of Monday's overtime loss in Game 1, though he didn't return after halftime due to a non-COVID illness. However, the star big man will likely suit up as the Celtics attempt to even the series at 1-1 in Boston. Porzingis didn't miss a game during the club's 4-1 first-round series win over the Magic, during which he averaged 12.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals, 1.0 assists and 0.8 blocks across 27.4 minutes per game.
Doesn't return in Game 1

Porzingis (illness) didn't return during Monday's 108-105 overtime loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. He supplied zero points (0-4 FG), four rebounds and one assist across 13 minutes. Porzingis didn't start the third quarter after playing 13 minutes in the first half. The star big man was deemed questionable to return due to the non-COVID illness, and his status will be something to monitor ahead of Wednesday's Game 2 in Boston. If Porzingis is unable to suit up Wednesday, Al Horford and Luke Kornet are candidates for an uptick in playing time.
Questionable to return Monday

Porzingis is questionable to return during Monday's Game 1 against the Knicks due to an illness, Jay King of The Athletic reports. Porzingis managed to play 13 minutes in the first half, though he didn't start the second after leaving for the locker room during his halftime warmup. If the big man is unable to return, Al Horford and Luke Kornet are candidates for an uptick in playing time the rest of the way.
Limited to 21 minutes

Porzingis ended Tuesday's 120-89 victory over the Magic in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with nine points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 21 minutes. The Celtics ran away with this game by the third quarter, and Porzingis had three fouls, so the team was able to dial him back Tuesday. The big man has had a very quiet postseason so far, as he's shooting 35.2 percent from the field and 11.8 percent from beyond the arc with 12.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.8 blocks and 1.8 steals in 27.4 minutes. Some positive regression with his shooting is likely around the corner.
Improved performance Sunday

Porzingis finished with 19 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 107-98 win over the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Despite battling foul trouble throughout the game, Porzingis turned in a much-improved performance, helping the Celtics to an important road victory. While it was good to see him active on the offensive end, it's fair to say Porzingis is still short of where he needs to be. Boston will hope he can build on this effort in what could be the series-clinching game on Tuesday.
