BOSTON — Kristaps Porziu0146u0123is’ routine remained similar two days after the Celtics lost to the Mavs in Game 4, Porziu0146u0123is staying on the bench despite being active. He returned to the floor with his teammates at the start of open practice Sunday, did some light shooting with his status unchanged entering Monday’s Game 5 — questionable.
“He’s doing some stuff, but you can still tell that he’s very uncomfortable,” Xavier Tillman Sr. said. “We don’t want to put him in any type of situation that could really hurt him. It’s been pretty much the same.”
Porziu0146u0123is did not speak on Sunday for the second straight practice despite Adam Himmelsbach requesting that he do so.
