Kristaps Porzingis’s return to the Celtics’ lineup isn’t imminent, but he’s continuing to progress in his rehab from offseason leg surgery.
Head coach Joe Mazzulla said Porzingis has been participating in certain workouts that ramp up in intensity as he works his way back to full strength.
“He’s getting there,” Mazzulla told reporters. “He’s been able to do some stuff on the court. Some reads versus the coaches. Still, some up and down work, 5-on-1 vs. the coaches so he’s getting there.”
The Celtics big man suffered a rare injury during their NBA Finals triumph over the Mavericks.
