[Bontemps] The Celtics say Kristaps Porzingis had surgery to repair a torn retinaculum and dislocated posterior tibialis tendon, and that he will return to play in “5-to-6 months” — meaning he’ll be out well into the start of next season.

they had that man playing
This was the injury he had in the Finals, right?
Man’s hurt so often they’re discovering new injuries. His body is like the Rosetta Stone of getting hurt.
Ngl, the fact that he actually played in the Finals looks like a major miracle.
Damn so the tendon was dislocated too. I say play it cautious and let him ease in to minutes so post all star break he can be ready to ramp up for another playoff run.
I think the real test will be for Tatum, Brown, White, Holiday and Horford to try to build as comfortable of a lead as possible in the standings so porzingis can get his reps in and by the end of the regular season guys can get their rest in .
Porzingis usually has a super slow recovery time so he probably most likely is out for even longer
Is this the injury that only 32 people have had in recorderd medical literature???
yeah 5-6 month recovery was what I was expecting, don’t think we’re going to see him on the court until after the New Year
will need our frontcourt depth guys to hold down the fort and keep Horford’s minutes down in the early parts of the season next year. Queta is the only other big we have under contract atm but hopefully will retain at least one of Kornet or Tillman as well
well that’s not ideal
This guy is made out of pixie sticks
Celtics legend.
Kristmas Porzingis.
Neemias Queta o conquistador das Américas
Honestly wonder how long KP has left. He’s still pretty dominant when he can play but the injuries are really piling up
Neemias Queta time to shine baby
Point-Center Tatum incoming.
It’s a joy to watch KP play but he’s constantly going through stuff like this, it’s gotta be annoying to have him (I know as a Mavs fan it is)
Celtics gonna be in the market for a center now
So hope he plays Christmas Day?
Got em 2 wins and dipped. Fucking Tingus 😭
I’m immortalizing this man
Brian Sutterer is the GOAT of sports injuries videos. He called this in his analysis.
Still ain’t fair when you have Al Horford
I am a Luka guy but ziggy just became his dad by the very fact that he was sent off from mavs by him and owned them while hopping on one leg
Jokić to Celtics for KP, Payton Pritchard and picks confirmed.
Take your time king
Idk man I said last year I thought he was the biggest pick up of the off season. They got what they needed out of him for a ring, if he could stay healthy for a season he’d be a force.
So we get a healthy Tingus Pingus for Christmas!!!
anything less than 10 months is a bonus honestly
Gettin his Tingus Pingus fixed ☺️
rest, tall one
respect for playing and winning a chip
Keep him bubble wrapped until the ECF.
LETS GO!!! Nba champion Kristaps Porzingus is expected to return around holiday time. Best Thanksgiving/Christmas/Kwanza/Hanukkah ever.
