All systems go for Kristaps Porzingis at Celtics practice

Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis was a full participant at practice Saturday, according to coach Joe Mazzulla.

Mazzulla said Porzingis looked good going through drills with the team, but noted that the intensity level at practice wasn’t as high as it will be in the coming days.

“He did everything the team did. We’ll go significantly harder [Sunday],” Mazzulla said. “Today was moderate but he went through everything that the team did today.”

Porzingis has been out since suffering a calf strain during Game 4 of the first-round series against the Heat on April 29.

He has had more than a month to recover while the Celtics went through the first three rounds of the playoffs, and he’ll have a few more days of practice before the Celtics play Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Mavericks on Thursday night at TD Garden.
