It looks like Kristaps Porzingis’ early optimism proved prophetic after all. The Boston Celtics big man downplayed the extent of the calf injury that forced him to leave Friday’s loss to the Orlando Magic early, stressing after the game that while he awaited an MRI, Porzingis didn’t believe his injury was “too serious.”
Less than 24 hours later, he shared a photo of the Celtics’ training facility and accompanying message on social media hinting at “good news” and an imminent return to the floor, per Noa Dalzell of Celtics Blog.
