Kristaps Porzingis ruled out for Game 4 against Pacers
Tim Bontemps: The Celtics say Jrue Holiday (illness) and Luke Kornet (wrist) are questionable for Game 4, but that Kristaps Porzingis remains out with the calf strain that’s kept him out since Game 4 of the Miami series almost four weeks ago.

Porzingis is 4 weeks removed from injury tomorrow, so it is noteworthy he’s still out. Obviously not huge urgency to bring him back up 3-0, but his timetable still seems unclear. C’s have long lay-off between ECF/NBAF when they close this out tho. Have to think he’s ready on 6/6. – 5:40 PM

No surprise, but Kristaps Porzingis will not play in Game 4 tomorrow.
Luke Kornet and Jrue Holiday both questionable.
(Of course, Jrue was questionable for Game 3…so questionable can also translate into “about to create indelible images Celtics fans will re-live for decades”) – 5:15 PM

No update on Porzingis. Derrick White said whenever it happens, it’s not going to be difficult to integrate him into what they’re doing. – 11:26 AM

New: The Celtics did more than essentially lock up a berth in the NBA Finals with their comeback in Game 3. They also took some pressure off Kristaps Porzingis masslive.com/celtics/2024/0… – 10:25 AM

(I also think we are underrating that while it hasn’t always looked pretty for the Celtics, they’re now 11-2 in the playoffs + winning tight games
And a big part of tonight was Indiana clowning them in the paint for the 1st half when they’re going to get KP back for the Finals.) – 1:13 AM

With the Celtics up 3-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals, they will now allow Kristaps Porzingis five full weeks of recovery time from a calf injury.
A fully healthy Porzingis will be awaiting the Mavericks or Timberwolves in the NBA Finals. pic.twitter.com/8N4M6KD6TE – 11:25 PM

If I’m Boston, I’m not playing Porzingis on Monday. The Finals start June 6th — they get a win in Game 4 and it’s another week-plus of rest. – 11:21 PM

It would be great for the Celtics if a healthy Porzingis could come in and defend the paint in Game 4 and beyond
Chasing these speedy Pacers around can’t be good for a recently strained calf, however – 10:17 PM

Rick Carlisle can get any five out there and find 110 points
This Celtics defense is chewable without Porzingis – 10:12 PM

Boston has a 21-point edge at the 3-point line.
But Indiana has a 24-point edge in the paint (42-18).
The Pacers are shooting 63 percent inside the arc across the first 10 quarters of this series. The return of Kristaps Porzingis could give the Celtics a big boost at the rim. – 9:48 PM
