What Kristaps Porzingis’ foot injury means for the Boston Celtics
Star Boston Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis announced on Tuesday morning that he is suffering from a foot injury, plantar fasciitis, after undergoing an MRI. While not exactly optimal news given the condition is usually a minor one that can be managed, it is also a blow to Porzingis’ hopes of leading Latvia in World Cup play and will be something that needs to be monitored moving forward.
The European big man will be sitting out for the 2023 FIBA World Cup for the Latvian National Team as he recovers ahead of the Celtics’ 2023-24 campaign. The NBA also announced the in-season tournament schedule for Boston and other ball clubs ahead of the league’s full 2023-24 season schedule release that will be made public later this week.
CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning breaks down both Boston news items from today on the “Garden Report” podcast.
Check out the clip embedded above to get caught up on both.
