Injury report: Kristaps Porzingis’ final Celtics-Pacers injury status for NBA In-Season has not ……
The Indiana Pacers have learned to salvage broken plays on varying lengths. Tyrese Haliburton knows how to get his teammates the ball inside the paint, on the perimeter, or even make them open for a post-up. This got them the best offense in the league with a whopping 123.8 offensive rating. Joe Mazzulla and the Boston Celtics are going to have to contain these weapons to advance in the NBA In-Season Tournament. Jrue Holiday and Derrick White will be there to carry out their duties. But, Kristaps Porzingis? Not really.
Joe Mazzulla is not going to have his stretch-forward and rim protector for the NBA In-Season Tournament quarterfinals, per the Jay King of The Athletic. This is a huge blow to the squad because of how elite Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers could throw lobs for easy baskets. More than this, Kristaps Porzingis is an elite defender on drop coverage which lessens their ability to switch on the perimeter.
