Joe Mazzulla has released yet another terrible news to the warriors that will be a significant fallback to his team as he sadly disclosed this….
In the second half of their two-tilt miniseries at TD Garden, the Boston Celtics and the Orlando Magic will square off once more. After splitting the previous two games, this will be their third meeting of the season. On Friday night,
though, the C’s prevailed 128-111 to secure the most recent victory. With this win, Boston improved to 19-5 on the season and ended a four-game losing streak versus the Magic. The fact that the injury-plagued C’s managed to win
without a healthy Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford, or Luke Kornet made it even more amazing. But following a humiliating 17-point setback, the Magic will aim to get back on track in the series and exact revenge for the previous
game’s defeat. Will Kristaps Porzingis play tonight to continue the Boston Celtics’ winning run of four games? Kristaps Porzingis is not listed as injured. The fact that the Celtics won’t have to worry about frontcourt depth in
tonight’s game is good news. In advance of Sunday’s rematch with the Magic, Kristaps Porzingis has been taken off the injury report. Ironically, on November 26, he suffered his first calf injury of the season against the Orlando
Magic, missing four games as a result. He missed three games after making a comeback on December 8 before getting hurt again for Friday’s matchup with Orlando. Al Horford, who slept on Friday night, is also anticipated to
return tonight. Nevertheless, Luke Kornet, Boston’s backup center, will be missed as he recovers from a left adductor strain and should return to the court by the end of the month. Furthermore, because of a sickness unrelated to
COVID, Dalano Banton is a game-time decision.
