Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is expected to return from offseason ankle surgery in Monday's matchup against the visiting Los Angeles Clippers, ESPN reported Monday. The original timetable for his return from his surgery in late June was five to six months.

It's no coincidence that the Boston Celtics had their most impressive win of the season on the night of Kristaps Porzingis's return.

While the Celtics haven’t been fully healthy yet this season, they’re looking to take a big step in that regard. Kristaps Porzingis plans to make his season debut against the Clippers on Monday, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
