Kristaps Porzingis said his MRI showed a low-grade calf strain, and he doesn’t expect to be out much longer.
He added that the medical staff is being cautious and that it’s “good news.”
“It’s nothing serious,” Porzingis told reporters Tuesday. “Already making good progress and feeling better.”
The Celtics big man left the Magic game early Friday, missed Sunday’s win over the Hawks, and is out for Tuesday’s in-season tournament clash with the Bulls.
Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said Porzingis will be re-evaluated in a week. He’ll likely miss a couple more games, but it doesn’t appear he’ll be out for an extended period of time.
