Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis hilariously hopes to recover from soleus strain at 'historic rate'

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis could miss the entirety of the Eastern Conference Semifinals due to a right soleus strain. On Saturday morning, the Latvian big man clarified to the media that he has no specific return date yet, per Celtics in-house writer Taylor Snow. “But expecting to recover at a historic rate,” he said with a grin. The 2018 All-Star was Boston's third-leading scorer during the regular season and a huge boon on both ends of the floor.
