WEB Kristaps Porzingis Dealt to Boston Celtics
Three-Team Deal Lands Porzingis in Boston
The Boston Celtics have acquired centerforward Kristaps Porzingis from Washington as part of a three-team deal, the team announced. Porzingis agreed to opt into his deal before being dealt to Boston, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Porzingis' Impact on Celtics
The addition of Porzingis gives the Celtics a much-needed boost in the frontcourt. The 7-foot-3 Latvian averaged 22.1 points and 8.8 rebounds per game for the Wizards last season. He provides the Celtics with a versatile scoring option and a strong presence on the defensive end.
Potential Injury Concerns
However, there are some concerns about Porzingis' health. He missed the final 20 games of the regular season last year due to a knee injury. He also exited Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat with an ankle injury.
Celtics' Game 4 Victory
Despite the injury concerns, the Celtics secured a 102-88 victory over the Heat in Game 4 on Monday. They now hold a 3-1 series lead and are one win away from advancing to the NBA Finals.
