Kristaps Porzingis says he’s OK following eye injury vs. Pacers

Kristaps Porzingis hasn’t had much luck with injuries this season. On Saturday night, he didn’t make it through the first quarter before heading to the locker room.

During a fight for a rebound, Porzingis was poked in the eye by an Indiana Pacers player. He stayed down on the court for a minute before heading to the Celtics bench. He checked back into the game briefly, but the eye seemed to be bothering him and he eventually left for the locker room.

Afterwards, Porzingis was ruled questionable to return with “right eye irritation” but he was not seen on the Boston bench in the second half.
