Is Boston’s new schedule favorable for Kristaps Porzingis’ recovery?

Could Kristaps Porzingis benefit from the Boston Celtics upcoming NBA schedule?

The Boston Celtics 2024-25 schedule was released on Thursday, August 15. January and March are projected to be the most difficult months for Joe Mazzulla’s team, as both include some tough West Coast road trips, difficult home games and a considerable amount of overall travel. However, that means the season’s opening months are favorable for Joe Mazzulla’s team.

The schedule could be ideal, considering the Celtics will be without Kristaps Porzingis for the season’s opening months. The veteran big man will likely be back in the rotation by the end of the calendar year, meaning he should be available for the most difficult stretches of Boston’s season.

During a recent episode of “Anything is Poddable,” the hosts discussed whether Boston’s upcoming run of games will allow them to build momentum before getting their star center back. They also discussed whether the schedule is structured in a way that could allow Porzingis to slowly ramp back up.
