The Celtics announced Wednesday morning that Kristaps Porzingis will engage in a four to six week rehab program as he recovers from plantar fasciitis in his right foot.
He is expected to be ready in time for training camp, the team said in a news release.
The announcement comes hours after Porzingis released a statement saying that he would miss this year’s FIBA World Cup because of his plantar fasciitis.
He said that he made a joint decision with the Latvian national team’s medical staff and the Celtics to miss the event.
