Al Horford Recalls Career-Changing Conversation After NBA Finals Win Boston Celtics champion Al Horford remembers a conversation that stuck with him after a meeting with Danny Ainge.
Kristaps Porzingis - Plays 16 minutes, confirms surgery Porzingis posted five points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound over 16 minutes in Monday's Game 5 win. He also confirmed post-game that his lower left leg injury will requi...
Impact In Game 2 of the Finals, Porzingis suffered a torn medial retinaculum allowing dislocation of the posterior tibialis tendon. The injury forced him to miss Game 3 and Game 4, but he returned in Game 5 to help Boston earn its 18th Championship. The Latvian center said the off-season surgery will require a "few months" of recovery. Porzingis also missed over five weeks of action late in the season due to a right calf injury.

Sam Hauser - Scores eight points in Game 5 win Hauser delivered eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes in Monday's 106-88 Game 5 win over the Mavericks.
Impact While Hauser is known as a three-point sniper, he provided Boston with plenty of hard-nosed defense throughout their Championship run. Dallas periodically hunted Hauser during the Finals, only to learn the reserve forward was up for the challenge. Hauser averaged 8.2 points, 3.0 boards and 2.2 triples over 15 minutes per contest in the Finals. This off-season, expect Boston to exercise their club option to retain Hauser. The Wisconsin-product could once again be a key contributor in the quest for Banner 19.

Payton Pritchard - Drains clutch 3 in Game 5 win Pritchard posted three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) in under one minute of run in Monday's 106-88 Game 5 Championship-clinching win over the Mavericks.
Impact As he did periodically during the season and post-season, Pritchard once again drained a half-court end-of-quarter three just when the Celtics needed a boost. In Game 5, he heaved a half-court triple with under four seconds to help Boston take a 21-point lead into halftime. It was a lead the Celtics would never relinquish and earned Boston its 18th banner. Pritchard hit three triples over five 2024 NBA Finals games. FastPP has three more years remaining on his current contract, so expect more off-the-bench heroics moving forward.
