Boston Celtics' head coach Joe Mazzulla has described Kristaps Porzingis' injury as "serious," stating that the team's medical staff will ultimately decide on his availability. Porzingis is said to be doing everything possible to be able to play, but the decision will rest with the medical team.

The injury initially occurred in Game 4 of the Celtics' first-round series against the Miami Heat. Porzingis suffered a right calf injury, causing him to miss the remainder of the Eastern Conference playoffs. However, he made a return in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Despite his return, Porzingis' injury troubles persisted. In Game 2, he scored 12 points in 23 minutes but appeared to be hobbled after an awkward fall in the first half. During the game, commentator Doris Burke noted Porzingis' discomfort.

Porzingis, determined to contribute to the team's success, expressed his commitment to doing everything within his power to be on the court for Game 3. He remains hopeful that he will be able to participate in the upcoming game.

The Celtics organization considers Porzingis' injury to be a "rare injury," and his day-to-day status indicates that his availability for the remainder of the series remains uncertain. The final decision will be made by the team's medical professionals.

As the Celtics continue their pursuit of the NBA championship, they face uncertain circumstances regarding Porzingis' involvement. Fans eagerly await updates on his condition as the team prepares for Game 3.

It is vital for the Celtics to carefully evaluate Porzingis' injury to ensure his long-term health and optimize their chances of success. The team's medical team will closely monitor his progress and make the best decision accordingly.
