On Boston’s Kristaps Porzingis getting surgery for his injured calf

The Latvian big man will not play for his national team in the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics.

Boston Celtics star center Kristaps Porzingis suffered a torn retinaculum and dislocated posterior tibialis tendon in Game 2 of the 2024 NBA Finals on this past June 9. Surgery for Porzingis on the rare injury is to be scheduled in the coming days, and the Latvian big man will not play for his national team in the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics set to kick off later this summer.

CLNS Media reporter Bobby Manning and Celtics Blog beat writer Noa Dalzell took some time to react to the injury update following Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens’ end-of-season press conference earlier this week.
