The Boston Celtics will remain without Kristaps Porzingis for Game 1.
On Monday, head coach Joe Mazzulla spoke about Porzingis with the media ;
Mazzulla noted, “He appeared to be moving with improved ease. What’s remarkable about K.P. is his dedication. Every day, rain or shine, he commits himself to the necessary work to stay prepared, whether on the court or during recovery from injury. I observed some improvement in his mobility, but I have full confidence in his relentless work ethic and his commitment to returning swiftly.”
