Porzingis to make season debut in Celtics-Clippers: Report originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Kristaps Porzingis’ return won’t have to wait until December, after all.
The Boston Celtics big man will make his 2024-25 season debut Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers at TD Garden, ESPN’s Shams Charania reports.
The Celtics upgraded Porzingis to probable on their injury report Monday.
Porzingis, who underwent surgery to address a “rare” leg injury in June, had been ramping up activity in recent weeks. While the veteran big man said before the season he was targeting a return to action in December, our Celtics Insider Chris Forsberg recently noted Porzingis appeared ahead of schedule based on his recent workouts.
Celtics-Clippers is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Boston.
Hey Celtics game ops:
Please get the Porzingis walk from locker room on Jumbotron tonight.
KP on Finals: “I heard the crowd roar, it was insane, insane. Whatever pain I had, it was gone because of the adrenaline and that incredible feeling that I got from the fans.”
