Kristaps Porzingis has been out since Feb. 26th with an unidentified illness. Monday’s game was the sixth straight Porzingis has missed for the Boston Celtics.
“I have been dealing with some viral illness that we haven’t been able to fully identify yet,” Porzingis posted on the social media site during Monday’s game between the Celtics and Jazz in Boston. “I am recovering and getting better. But still working my way back to full [strength] to help this team. Thanks for support and [I’m] hoping for a healthy return soon.”
Porzingis sat out the opening month of the season after undergoing offseason surgery to repair a rare tendon injury in his ankle that he sustained during last season’s NBA Finals.
