SAD NEWS FOR: Robert Williams of celtics because…
The Latvian player, who is now playing well in a new role with the Boston Celtics, has denied recent reports that he was against the New York Knicks signing Kevin Durant.
With an emphasis on playing without the ball, Porzingis has adopted a new playing philosophy since joining the Celtics in the summer. Porzingis, who is regarded as a step behind Jayson Tatum in the star-power depth chart, is happy with his current position and emphasizes the value of having talented teammates in order to succeed in the guard-dominated NBA of today.Porzingis said, “It was never an issue for me,” rejecting the myth that he aspired to be a franchise’s face. I don’t think it ever bothered me; it was just this story that people were spreading.”
In an unexpected 133-131 victory over the Boston Celtics, Tyrese Haliburton was carried to the locker room by teammates due to what appeared to be a serious hamstring injury. Jaylen Brown scored 40 points in the game.
Late in the second quarter of Tuesday’s game (all times AEDT), Haliburton drove to the basket, but his leg gave way. He landed awkwardly on the floor and performed the splits while scowling in agony.
Play stopped for several minutes as officials and Pacers teammates gathered around Haliburton, who was obviously in a bad mood.
