A possible injury scare worries fans about a Celtics star.
With Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday proving to be perfect fits for the legendary team, the Boston Celtics are currently regarded as the best team in the NBA. It appears that the team’s offseason acquisitions have already paid off.
Even though Porzingis has struggled with injuries frequently during his NBA career, the Celtics had no idea what to expect from him.
Luckily for Boston, Holiday has strengthened the defense alongside Derrick White, and Porzingis has been the missing component of the Celtics’ offensive puzzle.
Regretfully, Porzingis is currently dealing with a calf injury, though Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe reports that he doesn’t think it’s too serious.
Hopefully, Porzingis’ injury won’t cause the Celtics to miss a lot of time; otherwise, it could be expensive for the team in the long run.
With a team-best shooting percentage of 55.3% from the field and 32.9% from beyond the arc, Porzingis is currently averaging 19.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game.
With Porzingis, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Holiday all playing well, the Celtics have a 12-4 record and lead the Eastern Conference rankings, one game ahead of the recently hot-starting Orlando Magic (11-5).
Boston will depend heavily on Porzingis throughout the 2023–24 NBA regular season and well into the NBA playoffs, so it will be interesting to watch how things work out for the Celtics this year and whether he can maintain his health.

A possible injury scare worries fans about a Celtics star.
Celtics veteran Joe Mazzulla is praised for his performance against the Nets.
The Boston Celtics, who are currently 6-2 and coming off of another thrilling victory, are off to a great start in the 2023–24 NBA season.
With a combined 51 points from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, the Celtics defeated the Brooklyn Nets 121-107.
With 13 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists, Jrue Holiday nearly achieved a triple-double, and Kristaps Porzingis and Derrick White also contributed strong two-way play.
During the 2023 NBA Playoffs, Boston is demonstrating to the league that they are still driven to return to the Finals after losing in the Eastern Conference Finals.
After trading away players like Marcus Smart and Robert Williams III, there were some doubts about the team’s depth, but the Celtics have handled their losses rather well thus far.
According to Jared Weiss of The Athletic, Payton Pritchard, who received praise from head coach Joe Mazzulla, is an underappreciated component of Boston’s early-season success.
“Payton has altered the game for us tonight and has managed to have an impact on us throughout the year,” Mazzulla remarked.
