It feels all but inevitable that the Celtics will clinch an 18th championship in the coming days.

After being ruled out of Game 3 of the NBA Finals due to a “left posterior tibialis dislocation” that he suffered in his ankle on Sunday night, Porzingis took part in some of Boston’s practice on Thursday afternoon before the session was closed to the media.
