The Boston Celtics have bounced back strong from a Game 2 loss to the Miami Heat and now have a 3-1 series lead as they head back home.
Game 3 was an easy win for Boston, but it could have come at a cost. Kristaps Porzingis had to leave the game with what many are calling a “calf strain“. It looked like an Achilles injury at first, which would have been catastrophic.

Kristaps Porzingis the key to Celtics winning NBA Championship?
If Porzingis misses time, Charles Barkley believes it could take the Celtics out of the running as the favorites to win the NBA Finals.
He is a really huge part of their offense and defense. I just hope he’s alright because, let’s be honest, if the Celtics are healthy they’re gonna win the championship, in my opinion. They got everything you need.
Thankfully, Celtics fans got some good news last night following the game. Porzingis tweeted out that he “will be good“.
While that’s not exactly definitive, it does sound like Porzingis avoided any type of serious injury. He may miss a few games, but it doesn’t seem like he’ll be out for too long.
