In a thrilling turn of events, the Boston Celtics may see the return of center Kristaps Porzingis later this week. Porzingis has been sidelined for the past few games due to a right calf strain. However, sources reveal that there have been no setbacks in his recovery, leading to hopes of his comeback in the upcoming games. If all goes well, we might witness Porzingis back on the court as soon as Thursday, ready to rock the in-season tournament semifinals.
While the Celtics continue to dominate the court even in Porzingis' absence, his return could significantly bolster the team's performance. This season, Boston's starting lineup, including the likes of Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Porzingis, has outscored opponents by a remarkable 27 points per 100 possessions. This formidable group has proven to be a force to be reckoned with, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the reunion as they aim to capture the tournament title.
In the meantime, the Indiana Pacers eagerly await confirmation regarding the availability of their star player, Tyrese Haliburton. Haliburton missed the previous game against the Miami Heat due to an upper respiratory infection and a bone bruise in his knee. As the Pacers gear up to face the Celtics in the quarterfinals, fans are left wondering if Haliburton will be able to join his teammates on the court and give the team a much-needed boost. The stage is set for an exciting clash between these two formidable teams.
