Kristaps Porzingis Fantasy Stats

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (heel) is good to go for Thursday's matchup against Chicago. He was initially regarded as questionable for the contest after a heel injury limited Porzingis to 11 minutes on Sunday versus Washington. Thursday's matchup is a favorable one for Porzingis, as the Bulls are allowing the second-most points in the league this season (121.9). Chicago also gives up the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing centers and power forwards.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (heel) is in danger of missing Thursday's game against Chicago, with the team considering him questionable for the matchup. Porzingis exited Sunday's action against Washington with a heel contusion, and considering his injury history, it wouldn't be surprising if the team gave him some time off. However, Porzingis participated in Wednesday's practice, which is a good sign that he will be available against the Bulls. Al Horford (rest) is ready to return to action, so even if Porzingis is in the lineup, the Celtics might keep his workload light.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (leg) will return to the lineup for Saturday's contest against Memphis. He was kept out of action on Friday versus Milwaukee as Porzingis continues to manage a leg injury. The Latvian big man will be a natural replacement for Al Horford (toe), who will exit the lineup on Saturday. Porzingis only recently made his season debut and has averaged 21.0 points and 7.8 rebounds in 27.3 minutes across four games. He faces a tough matchup on Saturday, as Memphis has shown strong defensive numbers against opposing big men this season.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (leg) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's played in four of the team's last five games but Friday's game is the first half of a back-to-back so injury management comes into play. Since Porzingis will be sidelined, Al Horford (toe) has been made available. Horford remains a good streaming option when any other big men are out as he's averaging 13.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game when he gets 30 or more minutes.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (leg) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to left posterior tibialis tendon injury management. The Celtics are being cautious with their talented big man, and Porzingis could miss the game as they manage his health. With Al Horford (toe) also questionable, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta could see increased minutes in the frontcourt. The Celtics' long-term goal is to keep Porzingis healthy as they aim to repeat as champions. Porzingis has played in four games this season, averaging 27.3 minutes, 21.0 points, and 7.8 rebounds per game.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (foot) last played in the NBA Finals last season at a limited capacity as he dealt with a foot injury. After undergoing surgery in the off-season, he's been slowly ramping up throughout the beginning of the regular season. The team has officially listed him as probable on their injury report for their Monday night contest against the Los Angeles Clippers. There's likely to be a minutes restriction at first, and Porzingis entering the lineup again means fewer fantasy opportunities for the likes of Luke Kornet, Neemias Queta, and even Al Horford.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (foot) is trending in the right direction during his recovery from foot surgery. According to Jared Weiss, the big man will practice with the team's G League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws, along with Xavier Tillman Sr. Porzingis hasn't appeared in a game yet this season with his last game played coming in last year's NBA Finals. Al Horford, Neemias Queta, and Luke Kornet will continue to rotate through the center minutes until Porzingis can get back on the court.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (foot) has been ruled out for the team's season opener against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. The star big man has been rehabbing from surgery on his foot and is not ready to take the floor just yet. There hasn't been a specific timetable reported, so fantasy managers will have to monitor his status in the meantime. Al Horford will take on some more minutes while the other opportunities will likely be spread between Luke Kornet, Xavier Tillman Sr., and maybe even Neemias Queta. Horford and Kornet are likely the better streamers to start the season.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (leg) is progressing in his return from the torn medial retinaculum suffered in the postseason. During Celtics' media day, the veteran reported feeling "really good," adding he's been running and doing "light contact work." Porzingis finished his first season in Boston by averaging 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.9 blocks. However, he appeared in only 57 regular-season contests, which limited his fantasy contributions. While the 29-year-old hopes to return sooner than anticipated, fantasy managers should still be prepared to keep him stashed on their roster. Yet, once he is fully healthy, he'll be a difference-maker for fantasy managers come the playoffs. With that in mind, Al Horford will hold things down in the middle until Porzingis is back on the court, giving him value in all formats early in the 2024-25 campaign.

According to Jared Weiss of The Athletic, Boston Celtics general manager Brad Stevens said on Tuesday that center Kristaps Porzingis (foot) is progressing well since his foot surgery in June. Stevens didn't give a timetable on when Porzingis will likely return, but he is optimistic and said he is surprised at how quickly he is improving. Once healthy, the big man will significantly impact fantasy as he averaged 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 29.6 minutes last regular season.
