Celtics Adjust Roster for Game 2
Porzingis Set for Game 2
Kristaps Porzingis, the center for the Boston Celtics, has been cleared to compete in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series against the New York Knicks. After missing the latter half of Game 1 due to an illness, he was upgraded to available status shortly before the game commenced.
Performance in Game 1
During Game 1, Porzingis had a challenging outing, failing to score on four attempts during his 13 minutes of play. He contributed four rebounds and one assist, but remnants of the illness that affected him earlier this season appeared to take a toll on his performance, which also caused previous game absences.
Impact of Hauser's Injury
On the other hand, reserve player Sam Hauser will not be able to join his teammates for Game 2 due to an ankle injury incurred during the first game. Hauser did not score during his four minutes on the court in Game 1. His absence could impact the team’s overall bench strength, especially as they face a critical game against New York.
