Boston Celtics Lose Kristaps Porzingis for Game 5 of NBA Playoffs
Celtics Aim to Close Out Series Against Miami Heat
Porzingis Injured, Celtics Hope to Win Without Big Man
The Boston Celtics face a critical game in the NBA playoffs on Wednesday as they attempt to close out the first-round series against the Miami Heat. However, they will be without key big man Kristaps Porzingis, who suffered an injury.
Porzingis is out for Game 5 due to a right knee contusion, the Celtics announced. The injury occurred in Game 4 after a collision with Heat center Bam Adebayo. The absence of Porzingis is a significant blow to Boston, as he has been a key contributor this season.
Despite the injury, the Celtics remain confident in their ability to close out the series. They hold a 3-1 lead heading into Game 5 and can advance to the second round with a victory. However, the Heat are a tough opponent, and the Celtics will need to play well without Porzingis.
