Star Boston Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis announced on Tuesday morning that he is suffering from plantar fasciitis. The announcement came after he underwent an MRI.
While not optimal news, the condition is usually minor and can be managed. However, it is a blow to Porzingis’ hopes of leading Latvia in World Cup play, and it will need to be monitored moving forward.
The European big man will sit out the 2023 FIBA World Cup as he recovers ahead of the Celtics’ 2023-24 campaign. The NBA also announced the in-season tournament schedule ahead of the league’s full 2023-24 season schedule release that will be made public later this week.
CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning breaks down both Boston news items from today on the “Garden Report” podcast.
Check out the clip embedded above to get caught up on both.
