Kristaps Porzingis Off Injury Report, Al Horford Out
2 months agoBoston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is off the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest versus the Brooklyn Nets. A lower back contusion forced Porzingis from Sunday's win over the Miami Heat late, and he missed Tuesday's victory over the Brooklyn Nets, but he'll be available for Boston's final game before the All-Star break. The Celtics will hold out Al Horford (toe) due to a sprained left big toe, but he and Porzingis have alternated appearances on back to-back sets all year long. The Latvian All-Star has been a second-round fantasy value in nine-category leagues during his debut season in Beantown, banking 20.4 points on 52.9% shooting from the field, 7.0 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, and 1.8 threes per game. Make sure Porzingis is in all season-long lineups despite a tough matchup against a Nets squad that ranks ninth in opponent field-goal percentage (46.9%).
