Boston Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis shared a positive update on his injured right foot during the team’s media day this Monday. The 28-year-old was a late scratch for his native Latvia at this summer’s FIBA World Cup because of complications stemming from a bout of plantar fasciitis.

Thankfully for the Celtics, however, Porzingis told reporters he is fully healthy and ready to rock with the season set to open just a few weeks from now. Boston will play its first game on the road against the New York Knicks on Oct. 24, where Porzingis will make his regular season debut with his new team.

“I’m perfectly fine and ready to go.” Porzingis shared.
