Celtics’ Kristaps Porzingis expects to play off the bench in Game 2 of NBA Finals

The Celtics appear to be living by the motto, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Kristaps Porzingis expects to play off the bench again in Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Mavericks, he told ESPN’s Malika Andrews in an interview.

“We’ll see, yes,” Porzingis said when asked if he anticipates to come off the bench again in Game 2.

“Yes?” Andrews asked.

“Yes,” Porzingis replied.

Porzingis played off the bench in his return from a soleus strain in Game 1, marking just the second time in his career he didn’t start a game in which he played.
