Kristaps Porzingis’s status for the Eastern Conference finals remains in question, but Joe Mazzulla doesn’t seem to be too stressed by it.
The Celtics coach didn’t provide an update on when the star big could return to the lineup. However, Mazzulla is looking at the situation through an optimistic lens.
“A great place,” Mazzulla said when asked by reporters on Porzingis’s rehab on Sunday. “He’s working hard every single day to make as fast of a recovery as he can. He’s there for everything. You can’t underestimate how hard he works trying to come back in a timely fashion.
