Luke Kornet, Xavier Tillman had offseason surgery

AUERBACH CENTER — On Celtics Media Day, Brad Stevens revealed that two Celtics’ rotation bigs — Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman — had surgery over the offseason.

Kornet had wrist surgery at the conclusion of the season, while Tillman had a knee scope at the end of July. Both should be good to go, Stevens confirmed, with no known limitations.

Kristaps Porzingis, meanwhile, is recovering well, though there’s no timeline for his return.

“He’s very optimistic,” Stevens said. “I don’t know that we’re interested in putting a timeline on it, because the injury is unique.
