Tim Bontemps: He also said Kristaps Porzingis is playing, though it’s unclear if he will start again. Porzingis didn’t play in the second half of Game 5 after again struggling in the first half with his ongoing illness.

Porzingis is humiliating Pussy KAT. Bad long three from KAT, Porzingis then shows KAT what it should look like, and then blocks KAT on the other end, leaving Pussy KAT again whining to the officials. Embarrassing! – 8:37 PM

KP was pretty tired at the end of that stint, but fought through it for that deep 3, and more importantly a big effort to crash down and block Towns from behind. – 8:36 PM

Kristaps Porzingis showing life here, makes a three and then gets a weakside block on Karl-Anthony Towns. #Celtics hanging in. #Knicks – 8:35 PM

It’s almost tip time for Game 6. Knicks have a chance to closeout a playoff series at MSG for the first time since 1999. No Tatum and a sick Porzingis vs. Knicks at full strength. Knicks have opportunity of a generation in front of them. Lose and it’s back to Boston for Game 7. pic.x.com/7OWfCMswvm – 8:00 PM

Love Luke starting obviously but he needs to avoid foul trouble or they’re in some trouble at C. Don’t think we see a ton of KP but I could be wrong – 7:50 PM

Bobby Manning: Joe Mazzulla on going with Luke Kornet over Kristaps Porzingis: “He couldn’t breathe. He was available if absolutely necessary … that was a decision between me and him.” Said they’ve changed the lineup at half-time a lot this season. “I know KP will be ready for us.” -via Twitter @RealBobManning / May 14, 2025
Brian Robb: Celtics going double bigs with Jayson Tatum sidelined. Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Jaylen Brown, Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis are the starters for Game 5. -via Twitter @BrianTRobb / May 14, 2025
