Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis released a statement on social media platform X Monday evening about an illness that has caused him to miss several games.
“I have been dealing with some viral illness that we haven’t been able to fully identify yet,” Porzingis wrote. “I am recovering and getting better. But still working my way back to full strength to help this team. Thanks for support and Im hoping for a healthy return soon.”
Porzingis has not played since Boston’s February 26 loss against the Pistons.
He has been able to be around the team as he battles the illness.
