DALLAS -- The NBA Finals got a major shakeup the day before Game 3 (Wednesday, 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC) with the Boston Celtics announcing Kristaps Porzingis had suffered a "rare injury," putting his status for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks -- and the rest of the series -- in doubt.

Porzingis has a torn medial retinaculum in his left leg, but told reporters Tuesday that he'd do whatever it took to play. However, Boston coach Joe Mazzulla said the final decision would be left in the hands of the team doctors.
