Is Kristaps Porzingis Ready to Make an Impact in Tonight's Game for the Boston Celtics?

Kristaps Porzingis Expected to Suit Up in Tonight's game against the LA Clippers

Celtics big man, Kristaps Porzingis, is expected to make his season debut in tonight's game against the LA Clippers. In the latest Celtics injury report, Porzingis was listed as probable to play in today’s matchup after months of recovering from a left posterior tibialis tendon surgery.

Porzingis suffered a dislocated posterior tibialis tendon and a torn retinaculum in Game 2 of the NBA Finals. He was slated to miss out the first month of the regular season and wasn’t expected to return until mid to late December.

The Boston Celtics have shown to be one of the league’s strongest finals contenders even with one of their biggest pieces in Kristaps Porzingis out. They have the league’s second-best record of 14-3, trailing right behind the Cleveland Cavaliers who have a league-leading record of 17-1. With the addition of the Latvian 7-footer back into the already stacked Boston lineup, the Celtics look to take back the top spot from last season.
