Kristaps Porzingis admitted he was down after his soleus strain. But after getting the injury diagnosis, he took the optimistic route. So while there’s no target date for his return yet, the Celtics big man was upbeat talking about his injury Saturday.

Kristaps Porzingis: “You saw my reaction on the court. Then once we kind of got the diagnosis, I calmed down. It looks like it’s not as bad as I initially thought. Yeah, it is what it is. Nobody wants to get hurt. But at least it’s like not as bad as it could’ve been.” – 12:39 PM

More on this storyline
Jared Weiss: Kristaps Porziņģis explains his how his soleus strain happened: “I was going for a rebound and I stepped on Herro and rolled my ankle. Came back, maybe started to compensate with the other side a little bit too much or something… as soon as I pushed off, I felt something. And you saw my reaction on the court.“ -via Twitter @JaredWeissNBA / May 4, 2024
