Celtics' Porzingis questionable to return to Game 1 of East semifinal with Knicks due to illness

  • Kristaps Porzingis left the opening game of the Celtics' playoff series against the Knicks on Monday night due to illness and did not return to the court.
  • Porzingis’s departure resulted from a non-COVID upper respiratory illness that previously caused him to miss multiple games in February and March.
  • He played 13 minutes in the first half, shooting 0 for 4 with four rebounds and one assist before returning briefly at halftime then leaving for the locker room.
  • The Celtics listed Porzingis as questionable to return, with coach Joe Mazzulla stating, “I haven’t seen him yet,” after the team lost 108-105 in overtime.
  • Porzingis’s status remains critical to Boston’s rotation and will impact their strategy in Game 2 at TD Garden on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
