Porzingis produced 19 points (6-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 127-121 loss to Memphis. After resting on the front end of the back-to-back, Porzingis played for a few minutes and was sent to the locker room late in the second quarter, presumably due to his lingering leg injury. He returned in the second half and seemed unhindered. Porzingis is expected to sit frequently in back-to-back scenarios until he is fully healthy.

Returns to action with 19/8 line
Porzingis produced 19 points (6-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, three blocks and two steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 127-121 loss to Memphis. After resting on the front end of the back-to-back, Porzingis played for a few minutes and was sent to the locker room late in the second quarter, presumably due to his lingering leg injury. He returned in the second half and seemed unhindered. Porzingis is expected to sit frequently in back-to-back scenarios until he is fully healthy.
Returns for second half
Porzingis (undisclosed) returned to the court for the second half of Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Porzingis left the game in the final stages of the second quarter with a trainer following him, but it seems he wasn't dealing with anything severe. Expect the big man to handle his regular workload in the second half.
Exits game Saturday
Porzingis headed to the locker room in the final seconds of the second quarter in Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to an undisclosed injury, Jay King of The Athletic reports. Porzingis left the game in the final stages of the second quarter with a trainer following him, and it looked as if he was hobbling a bit. Porzingis is expected to be assessed during halftime to determine whether he'll be able to return to action in the second half. If he can't, then Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta would be in line to see more minutes off the bench.
Starting Saturday vs. Griz
Porzingis, who missed Friday's contest due to left posterior tibialis tendon injury management, is in the Celtics' starting lineup for Saturday's game against Memphis. Porzingis will return for the second leg of Boston's back-to-back Saturday, and he will be inserted into the starting five due to Al Horford (toe/rest) being sidelined. In his four games back since returning from offseason foot surgery, Porzingis has averaged 21.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals over 27.3 minutes per game.
Off injury report
Porzingis isn't listed on the team's injury report for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Porzingis took a seat for the first half of Boston's back-to-back Friday against the Bucks, and as expected, he'll be back in action Saturday. The big man should be in line for around 30 minutes given the absence of Al Horford (toe).
Ruled out Friday
Porzingis (lower leg) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bucks, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports. Porzingis will sit in the first leg of a back-to-back set due to injury management, though he'll likely return for Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies. The big man has appeared in four of the Celtics' last five games, during which he averaged 21.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks across 27.3 minutes per contest. With Porzingis sidelined Friday, Al Horford is expected to get the start with Neemias Queta and Luke Kornet both likely to see playing time off the bench.
Iffy against Milwaukee
Porzingis is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Bucks due to left posterior tibialis tendon injury management. Porzingis could miss Friday's contest, as it is the first leg of a back-to-back. With Al Horford (toe) also questionable, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta could receive increased playing time against Milwaukee.
Will start Wednesday
Porzingis is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports. Porzingis will return to the lineup Wednesday after a one-game absence, and the Celtics will go with a big frontcourt since Al Horford will also be in the starting unit. Porzingis has played three times this season and is averaging 19.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.
Not listed on injury report
Porzingis (rest/knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Pistons. Porzingis took a seat for the second half of Boston's back-to-back set Monday versus Miami after playing a season-high 32 minutes during Sunday's loss in Cleveland. Over three appearances this season, Porzingis has averaged 19.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks in 26.7 minutes per game.
