Kristaps Porzingis, Boston Celtics player, spoke to the media after his team advanced to the next round of the playoffs about the injury he suffered.
Kristaps Porzingis got injured towards the end of the first half in Game 4 against the Miami Heat. He injured his right calf, and it is estimated that he will be out for two to three weeks. Great news for the Celtics is that they still don’t know their next opponent as the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic have yet to play Game 7.
“We’re treating it accordingly. I’m getting better every day. So, I’m in a good mood today and every day, I would say. But, of course, it’s frustrating to be out and not be able to play with my guys, but doing what I can now to come back as soon as possible. It’s something, it’s not nothing, you know? So, it will take a little bit of time for sure. But I’m doing everything I can to speed it up because I want to be back out there as soon as possible. But, I’m understanding that the worst thing would be, probably to reaggravate that. So, being smart. And you would have to ask the medical people about the specifics of it.
I’m kind of just following the plan, but, yeah, hoping for a return as soon as I start to get better. I’m not on the floor yet. But very soon, I expect to start doing stuff. Still in the weight room, still movement and slowly building up and all that and slowly building up. And I would say each day it’s a lot of progress. It’s still very fresh, but making progress.There’s no specific date. Obviously, it’s still pretty early. I think it will be clearer once I start doing more stuff. Once I start doing more stuff, it will be clearer. But yeah, not super close yet. Not super close yet. But expecting to recover at a historic rate,” Kristaps Porzingis said.
