Insight on Kristaps Porzingis' rare leg injury explained by doctor

Reported 7 months ago

Boston Celtics fans were left puzzled by a discouraging update on Kristaps Porzingis' injury during Game 2 of the NBA Finals, where the team announced a rare torn medial retinaculum allowing dislocation of the posterior tibialis tendon in his left leg. Orthopedist Dr. John Ponti simplified the injury, explaining how the ankle tendon structure was affected and the challenges Porzingis faces. While the decision to play in Game 3 remains uncertain, veteran Al Horford may take over as the starting center if Porzingis sits out, with the Celtics maintaining a strong record without him. Porzingis is currently listed as questionable for the upcoming game against the Dallas Mavericks.
