[Rupert Fabig] According to my information there are growing concerns that Latvia star Kristaps #Porzingis might miss the #FIBAWC due to injury. Understood it is something with his foot. Staff, himself and Boston #Celtics will wait until the last moment to make a decision.
Seriously this move made no sense but toxic positivity brigade couldn’t see banking on a frail 7’4 guy with crazy injury history was bs

Would be great if he missed the World Cup. I wouldn’t be surprised if Celtics were pressuring him to skip it after the huge swing they just took to bring him in. The injury is probably real but the severity might be overstated.

Wow an injury prone guy has another injury? Shocker.

Can the Celtics just not play KP and RW3 until April then work them both up to 30+mpg for the playoffs?
This team is already giving me agita
cahilljd
They’ve already had two exhibitions, correct? Has he played in those, does anyone know?
PrometheusAborted
Not going to lie, I’ll be upset if he plays. Skip it, get healthy and focus on a championship. What are we even doing here?

Welcome to the Celts, KP

I’m hoping Gallinari has just scarred us and Kristaps was like “My foot is a little sore.”
Then Celtics came in to just shut him down

While this doesn’t seem serious it was my biggest concern with this trade. Porzingis and Brogdon are 2 of the most injury prone players in the league and Horford is almost 40

Just wrap him in bubble wrap…

Is this reporter even reputable? I have never heard of this guy, and even if KP is dealing with an issue he should be good for the regular season. Him missing the world cup would honestly make me happier with not having to deal with the thought of serious injury.

It looks like he’s just angling to sit out the world cub
The Celtics did him the favor of the new contract extension, its time Kristaps rubs our back and sit out this tournament.

I would not read into this too much. 2 August, it was his birthday, he was getting ready to play vs Sweden and only 3 hours before game, he opt out. From what his close friend said, he was not happy about this decision. That tells me, he was ready to play and whatever injury it is, its very minimal.

Hopefully it’s just a saving face excuse for him to not play.

He’s got every right to play in the WC. This is probably a very big deal to him and his country and this is just his first year in Boston.
That said I don’t think he’s gonna play hurt.

What?!?!
Injured already???
I get the “pride in country” and playing to represent… But…

Honestly an injury that’s just barely bad enough for him to miss the WC is probably a better outcome than him playing the actual tournament

Man please don’t let this happen again

Any one even remotely surprised is an absolute clown.

When we traded IT we got cursed. Kyrie and Hayward both got injured. I thought this organization and the fanbase would learn its lesson, but I guess not. Don’t trade your most loyal player.

Choosing to be optimistic and see this as the Celtics begging ‘Staps not to play so he is citing an injury to bag out while saving face

He should be cryogenically frozen over the offseason
