The Boston Celtics are currently riding a wave of optimism as they gear up for the NBA Finals. With a secured spot in the championship series, the team now has ample time to rest, recuperate, and prepare for the grand stage, potentially bolstering their chances of competing at full strength.
While refraining from making any definitive promises, there’s growing speculation that Kristaps Porzingis could make a return to action as early as Game 1 of the Finals, as reported by Celtics on NBC Sports Boston.
Porzingis had been sidelined following a non-contact calf injury sustained during Game 4 of the first-round series against the Miami Heat. Despite his absence, the Celtics have demonstrated remarkable resilience, boasting an impressive 9-1 record in games played without him and an overall playoff record of 12-2, including a flawless 6-0 record on the road.
