Porzingis has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Heat due to return-from-illness reconditioning, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports. Porzingis played in seven of the Celtics' last eight games after returning from an extended absence due to a viral infection, and he averaged 21.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 blocks in 29.3 minutes per contest over that span. He'll take a seat Wednesday as he continues to work on his conditioning, but he should be available to play against the Suns on Friday. With Porzingis and Al Horford (toe) both out, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta should see the bulk of the big man minutes against Miami. However, Xavier Tillman could see some time in the rotation after starting Monday against the Grizzlies.

Kristaps Porzingis Latest News
Sitting Wednesday

Porzingis has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Heat due to return-from-illness reconditioning, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports. Porzingis played in seven of the Celtics' last eight games after returning from an extended absence due to a viral infection, and he averaged 21.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 blocks in 29.3 minutes per contest over that span. He'll take a seat Wednesday as he continues to work on his conditioning, but he should be available to play against the Suns on Friday. With Porzingis and Al Horford (toe) both out, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta should see the bulk of the big man minutes against Miami. However, Xavier Tillman could see some time in the rotation after starting Monday against the Grizzlies.
Questionable for Wednesday

Porzingis is questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami due to return-from-illness reconditioning, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. The superstar big man recently faced an extended absence with a viral illness, and the Celtics continue to monitor his workload ahead of the playoffs. Al Horford (toe) is doubtful to play Wednesday, therefore Luke Kornet (illness), who is set to return against the Heat, could be needed to make a spot start down low if Boston holds Porzingis out.
Scores 19 in win

Porzingis totaled 19 points (7-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and five assists in Monday's 117-103 win over the Grizzlies. Porzingis was productive Monday, knocking down three three-pointers to help lead the Celtics to a double-digit victory. The one-time All-Star missed eight straight games from the end of February to the middle of March due to a lingering illness, but he has found his groove since returning. Playing in seven of the team's last eight contests, Porzingis is averaging 21.1 points and 7.7 rebounds on 54.6 percent shooting.
Not listed on injury report

Porzingis (illness) isn't listed on Boston's injury report for Monday's game against the Kings, Jay King of The Athletic reports. Porzingis will return to action Monday after sitting out Sunday's win in Portland due to an illness. After missing eight straight games to start March, Porzingis appeared in three consecutive contests before his absence Sunday and looked sharp, averaging 25.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.7 steals in 28.7 minutes while starting in each.
Won't play Sunday

Porzingis (illness) won't play Sunday against the Trail Blazers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. Porzingis will take a seat for the first half of a back-to-back set due to an illness and should be considered questionable for Monday. After missing eight straight games to start March, Porzingis appeared in three consecutive contests and looked sharp, averaging 25.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.7 steals in 28.7 minutes while starting in each. In his absence, Luke Kornet is a candidate for increased playing time against Portland.
Questionable against Portland

Porzingis (illness) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. After playing the last three games, Porzingis is in danger of missing Sunday's matchup against the Trail Blazers due to an illness. Al Horford and Luke Kornet will likely see a bump in minutes if Porzingis is ruled out in Portland.
Records 27/10 double-double in win

Porzingis chipped in 27 points (9-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 121-99 win over Utah. Porzingis racked up his best scoring total yet since returning from an eight-game absence. He's on the precipice of starting another double-double streak after his second consecutive game hitting the milestone, and if Jaylen Brown's (knee) keeps him our for more games, Boston's superstar center will be in line to absorb some of the missing production.
Tallies season-high 13 rebounds

Porzingis totaled 25 points (9-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 104-96 victory over Brooklyn. Porzingis saw an increased offensive role with Jayson Tatum (knee) and Jaylen Brown (back) out, as he led Boston in scoring during Tuesday's victory. Although Porzingis's season average of 6.6 boards per game is his lowest since 2017-18, the 29-year-old big man hauled in a season-high 13 rebounds against Brooklyn.
Scores efficiently in return

Porzingis (illness) recorded 24 points (9-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and one block across 32 minutes Saturday in the Celtics' 115-113 win over the Nets. Though he didn't offer much of a multi-category impact Saturday, Porzingis' efficient scoring performance was a welcome sight for fantasy managers after he had missed Boston's last eight games with a non-COVID-related illness. Though Porzingis was expected to be on a playing-time restriction Saturday, he ended up exceeding his season-long average of 28.9 minutes per game. Porzingis will now get two days to rest up and recover before the Celtics return to action with a rematch with the Nets in Boston on Tuesday.
