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

They are doing all of this without their starting center, Kristaps Porzingis, who underwent foot surgery over the offseason after suffering a torn medial retinaculum, allowing dislocation of the posterior tibialis tendon in Game 2 of the finals against the Dallas Mavericks.

Celtics star big man Kristaps Porzingis is returning from offseason leg surgery and will make his 2024-25 season debut against the Clippers.
