Kristaps Porzingis’ ‘rare injury’ dings Celtics’ chances in NBA Finals Game 3
NY Post
Kristaps Porzingis’ injury will make Game 3 a bit tougher for the Celtics.
After opening as a 1.5-point underdog, Boston dropped to +2.5 after news their star big man suffered a “rare injury” that has left his status for Wednesday’s game up in the air.
The Celtics are now +120 on the moneyline despite jumping out to a convincing 2-0 series lead on their home floor.
Porzingis, who missed 10 straight games earlier this postseason with a calf injury, has been an important part of Boston’s success during the first two games of the NBA Finals.
In Game 1, Porzingis, after a 38-day absence, scored 20 points on 8 of 13 shooting from the field with three blocks in his return to the court.
Late in Game 2, Porzingis, who had 12 points, four rebounds and two blocks, left after he landed awkwardly while going up for a rebound.
