Kristaps Porzingis - Questionable for Game 3 Porzingis (lower leg) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 3 versus the Mavericks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Porzingis was seen walking around with a sleeve on his left ankle during media availability, but seemed to be in good spirits as he has stated he will do everything he can to play in Game 3, Malika Andrews of ESPN.com reports. While the 28-year-old has told reporters he is determined to play, it is ultimately up to the Celtics' medical staff whether or not he will be cleared in time for Wednesday after suffering a torn medial retinaculum in the third quarter of Game 2. Porzingis has missed 10 games this postseason due to an unrelated right calf strain, accumulating 32 points, 10 rebounds, five blocks and an assist while shooting 12-for-20 from the field across two games in the NBA Finals. For now, there is no indication he will be ruled out and not permitted to give it a go in Game 3, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
