Strong effort in blowout win Porzingis produced 26 points (10-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 131-91 victory over the Grizzlies.
Impact Porzingis' skill set was on full display, as he knocked down shots from the perimeter, got a few open dunks and protected the paint on defense. Since missing three of four games, Porzingis has appeared in three straight matchups, averaging 20.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.7 blocks and 2.3 assists in 29.3 minutes during that stretch.

Decent two-way play in loss Porzingis supplied 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, five blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 114-105 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Porzingis struggled from the field and was particularly woeful from beyond the arc, as he missed six of his seven attempts from deep, but he salvaged his fantasy line by delivering strong contributions in other categories, particularly on the defensive end. Porzingis is averaging 18.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.2 blocks per game since the start of January.

Double-double against Pacers Porzingis notched 17 points (6-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 129-124 victory over Indiana.
Impact Making his return from a two-game absence due to a sprained ankle, Porzingis delivered his first double-double since Jan. 2 and his sixth of the season. The veteran big missed five games in total in January with various minor injuries, and in the 11 contests he was able to suit up for he averaged 18.3 points, 6.2 boards, 2.5 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.9 blocks while shooting 50.8 percent from the floor and 44.9 percent from beyond the arc. Porzingis' usage has predictably dropped in his first season with Boston while playing alongside the likes of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, but his efficiency has improved and he's on pace for his best blocks per game average since 2019-20.

Good to go Tuesday Porzingis (ankle) is active for Tuesday's game against Indiana.
Impact Porzingis has been dealing with a left ankle sprain, but he will return from a two-game absence Tuesday. He represents Boston's lone available big man, as Al Horford (neck) and Luke Kornet (hamstring) are both unavailable.
JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE
Iffy for Tuesday Porzingis (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Impact Porzingis has missed back-to-back games and three of Boston's last four contests due to a left ankle sprain. Al Horford (neck) is out and Luke Kornet (hamstring) is doubtful, so if Porzingis is sidelined again, Boston's frontcourt will be shorthanded versus Indiana.

Downgraded to out Porzingis (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Impact Despite being active at the team's morning shootaround, Porzingis has been downgraded from questionable to out, joining Luke Kornet (hamstring) on the sidelines. Al Horford (neck) is available and should start in Porzingis' absence once again. Porzingis' next chance to suit up will come during the second half of Boston's back-to-back set versus Indiana on Tuesday, but his availability for that contest will likely be a game-time decision.

Impact Porzingis missed Saturday's blowout loss to the Clippers after tweaking his ankle Thursday versus the Heat. However, he's trending in the right direction to return Monday, but his official availability likely won't be known until closer to the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

Iffy for Monday Porzingis (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.
Impact Porzingis tweaked his ankle Thursday versus the Heat and was sidelined for Saturday's loss to the Clippers. Al Horford (neck) would usually be the primary beneficiary for an increased role in Porzingis' absence, but the veteran is also questionable, while Luke Kornet (hamstring) is doubtful, so it's unclear what Boston's frontcourt will look like versus New Orleans.

Unlikely to play Saturday Porzingis (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's game versus the Clippers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Impact Porzingis is expected to miss Saturday's contest due to a left ankle sprain he suffered against Miami.

Downplays ankle issue Porzingis, who suffered a left ankle tweak during Thursday's game against the Heat, downplayed the issue after the game,John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
Impact The Celtics announced that Porzingis was doubtful to return after he rolled his left ankle in the third quarter, and he finished the night with 19 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) , four rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes. Porzingis said he could've returned to the game and that he felt pretty good, but the lopsided score factored into the decision to keep him out. For now, Porzingis can be considered probable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
