Kornet posted six points (3-4 FG), eight rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 91-90 loss to New York in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Kornet played a handful of extra minutes with Kristaps Porzingis continuing to struggle with an illness. The issue has been bothering Porzingis for more than a month now, meaning Kornet is going to have to stay ready. Both he and Al Horford will need to play better if the Celtics are to turn the series around, starting with Game 3 in New York on Saturday.

Luke Kornet Player Profile
Career History






Luke Kornet Latest News
Increased role Wednesday

Kornet posted six points (3-4 FG), eight rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 91-90 loss to New York in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Kornet played a handful of extra minutes with Kristaps Porzingis continuing to struggle with an illness. The issue has been bothering Porzingis for more than a month now, meaning Kornet is going to have to stay ready. Both he and Al Horford will need to play better if the Celtics are to turn the series around, starting with Game 3 in New York on Saturday.
Plays well off bench

Kornet had nine points (3-3 FG, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 120-89 win over the Magic in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Kornet had a minimal role prior to Tuesday, but with Kristaps Porzingis picking up a few fouls and the Celtics running away with this game early, Kornet capitalized on some garbage time. Through five postseason games, Kornet is averaging 3.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 16.4 minutes. He's unlikely to see a spike in playing time as long as Porzingis and Al Horford are healthy.
Bench role vs. Orlando

Kornet will come off the bench during Sunday's Eastern Conference quarterfinal-round Game 1 matchup against the Magic, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Kornet started four of the last seven regular-season games for Boston, averaging 13.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks per contest while shooting 67.6 percent from the field. However, he'll revert back to the second unit for Game 1 against Orlando.
Strong in paint in season finale

Kornet closed with 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 93-86 win over the Hornets. Kornet did a little bit of everything in the starting lineup in Sunday's regular-season finale, leading all Celtics in blocks while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and finishing as one of four players with a double-digit scoring mark. Kornet has tallied four or more blocks in three outings this season, posting at least 10 points and eight boards on six occasions.
Starting against Charlotte

Kornet is in Boston's starting lineup against Charlotte on Sunday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Kornet will make his 16th start of the season Sunday due to Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (knee) both sidelined. Kornet has started in three of the Celtics' last six games, and over that span he has averaged 10.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 20.7 minutes per game.
Back to bench

Kornet won't start Friday's game against the Hornets. With Boston's regular starters sidelined, Kornet drew a spot start against the Magic on Wednesday and posted 14 points, three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 25 minutes. Aside from Jaylen Brown (knee), the Celtics' usual starters are available, with Al Horford replacing Brown in the first five.
Starting Wednesday

Kornet is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Magic on Wednesday, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports. Kornet will make his 15th start of the season (and eighth since the beginning of March) due to Al Horford (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (rest) both being ruled out for Wednesday's contest. Kornet has averaged 11.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 22.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.
Returning to bench

Kornet isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Kristaps Porzingis will reclaim his starting spot from Kornet after missing Boston's previous contest due to an illness. Kornet has averaged 8.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 18.9 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.
Double-doubles in win

Kornet posted 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 124-90 victory over Washington. Jayson Tatum did not play Sunday against Washington due to a sprained left ankle, allowing Kornet to start in the frontcourt alongside Al Horford. The Celtics have the second seed in the Eastern Conference locked up heading into the final week of the regular season, and Kornet could see ample playing time if the Celtics rest their key players.
