What does Kristaps Porzingis' return mean for the Boston Celtics?
What does Kristaps Porzingis' return mean for the Boston Celtics? The star Boston big man missed a lengthy chunk of the Celtics recent slate of games in the NBA's 2024-25 regular season due to a mysterious viral infection that had fans of the team more than a little concerned about his health.
But after a short false return earlier this month, Porzingis recently came back to the court for Boston in a win over the Brooklyn Nets, and looked very effective, active, and engaged for the Celtics in the tilt, leading the team in scoring and dunking the ball with gusto.
The hosts of the CLNS Media "Still Poddable" podcast, Brian Robb, Sam Packard, and Jay King, took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk over what his return means for Boston. Check it out below!
