Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis has been downgraded to out for tonight’s matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Xavier Tillman and Jaden Springer are also listed as out.
This will be the 15th game missed for Porzingis on the season, who’s averaging 20.4 points, 7 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks in 39 games this season.
Porzingis first sustained the back injury during Boston’s 110-106 win on Super Bowl Sunday against the Miami Heat. It happened during a defensive play involving Heat center Bam Adebayo, forcing him to leave for the locker room in the third quarter.
