Report: Kristaps Porzingis intends to make his season debut for Boston Celtics against Clippers

Boston Celtics fans could get their money’s worth at tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers at TD Garden. We’re hearing rumors that injured Boston big man Kristaps Porzingis will make his 2024-25 regular season debut with the Celtics against the Clippers. According to Cameron Tabatabaie of Celtics Wire, “Porzingis intends to play for the Celtics tonight.”

Porzingis, who has been out of action with a rare foot injury suffered in the 2024 NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks, has been out with the team in recent weeks and has increased the intensity and visibility of his on-court preparations Return to the NBA intensified and increased team visibility. Something like this is usually a sign that a player who has been out for a long period of time due to a serious injury is close to returning to play.

There is always the possibility of a setback before Porzingis steps on the court, as Boston will do its best to prevent the Latvian center from getting injured again. However, given LA’s limited size up front, this would be an ideal competition to bring KP back.
