Kristaps Porzingis returned to action for the Celtics on Saturday, playing a major role in their 115-113 win over the Nets. However, as he missed Boston’s previous eight games, there was some concern over when he would return.
The Celtics star big shared an ominous update about his condition earlier in the week, writing in a social media post that he was dealing with a viral illness that doctors weren’t able to fully identify as of Monday. As he returned to the court five days later, Porzingis disclosed more about his illness following Saturday’s win.
