BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics will be without Kristaps Porzingis for at least a week as he deals with a left calf strain.

Coach Joe Mazzulla said before Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks that Porzingis will be examined again "after a week or so."

Porzingis suffered the injury in a loss at Orlando on Friday afternoon. He's been enjoying a strong first season with the Celtics, averaging nearly 19 points on 54.7% shooting from the field.

Boston will also be without guard Jrue Holiday against Atlanta, who has now missed two straight games with a sprained right ankle.
