Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is stepping away from the game, according to a report from Celtics Wire on Friday. The 29-year-old Latvian big man, who joined the Celtics in a 2023 trade and helped the team win the 2024 NBA championship, has not played since suffering a leg injury during the 2024 NBA Finals.
Porzingis averaged 20.1 points and 7.2 rebounds per game in his first season with Boston before the injury limited his availability. The Celtics have not released an official statement regarding the nature or duration of his absence.
