DALLAS — Kristaps Porzingis didn't do an encore with reporters two days after Boston's big man answered questions in the immediate aftermath of the announcement of his rare lower left leg injury.
Boston moved within a victory of an 18th championship without Porzingis, beating Dallas 106-99 on Wednesday, June 12, for a 3-0 series lead. The Celtics are poised to break a tie with the Los Angeles Lakers for the most NBA titles. Mazzulla said the commanding series lead would have no bearing on whether Porzingis plays. The medical staff deemed him unfit to play after putting him through drills before Game 3.
The injury happened in the third quarter of Game 2, when Porzingis said he knocked knees with Dallas rookie center Dereck Lively II when they went for a rebound on a free throw. Porzingis signed a $60 million, two-year extension with the Celtics after they acquired him in a trade with Washington last summer. That deal kicks in next season.
