It has already been reported that on Monday, the “Celtics” beat the Miami “Heat” 102:88 in the quarterfinals of the Eastern Conference of the NBA playoffs and reached 3-1 in the series up to four victories.
In the last minutes of the first half, Porzingis turned his leg in an offensive episode, but continued the match. In the next attack, the Latvian asked to be replaced and limped off the field.
“Celtics” announced that Porzingis will miss the fifth match of the quarterfinals due to a strained calf muscle, while ESPN analyst Edrien Wojnarovskis indicated that such an injury will force the Latvian to miss several games.
In the continuation of the series, the game will take place in Boston on May 1, but if more than five games are needed in the series, they will take place on May 3 as visitors and on May 5 at the “Celtics” field.
After passing the first round, they will face the Cleveland Cavaliers or Orlando Magic in the second round.
In the previous season, the Denver “Nuggets” defeated the Miami “Heat” 4-1 in the final series and won the NBA championship for the first time in history.
