It had been a long time since Kristaps Porzingis took the floor at American Airlines Center as a visitor – more than seven years ago, to be exact, Jan. 7, 2018.
When he finally got back on the court, he did so in triumphant fashion, in more ways than one, but he also had a cautionary assessment of the Boston Celtics less than a year removed from having won the NBA Finals last season in five games over the Mavericks.
Porzingis, the 7-4 center dubbed the “Unicorn,” has came back to the AAC as a champion, and not just for his role last season helping the Celtics to the title.
