Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis returns to play for Game 5 of NBA Finals against Mavericks
Kristaps Porzingis returned to play for the Celtics as they attempted to close out the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the NBA FinalsJUNE 17 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Expected to play in Game 5 Coach Joe Mazzulla said to expect Porzingis (lower leg) to play in Game 5 of the NBA Finals against Dallas on Monday, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Porzingis was ruled out ahead of Game 3 after suffering a left posterior tibialis dislocation in the third quarter of Game 2. He got the green light for Game 4 but didn't see any playing time during the blowout loss. However, with the Celtics looking to close out the series at home, Porzingis won't have any restrictions, though it remains unclear if he'll be in the starting lineup. In Game 1, his first appearance after a 10-game absence due to a calf injury, Porzingis scored 20 points (8-13 FG) and blocked three shots in 21 minutes.

Celtics injury report: Kristaps Porzingis upgraded for Game 5 vs. Mavericks It's unclear how much Kristaps Porzingis will be available to contribute in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.

Available for Game 5 Porzingis (lower leg) is available for Monday's Game 5 of the NBA Finals versus the Mavericks.
Impact Porzingis suffered a left posterior tibialis dislocation in the third quarter of Game 2, but was listed as available ahead of Game 4 despite not playing in the blowout loss. The 28-year-old went through warmups before Game 5, and looked comfortable during light workouts with the Celtics' coaches and training staff. It is unclear whether head coach Joe Mazzulla will put the big man to use, especially after saying he is not near 100 percent and would only be used sparingly, if at all, prior to Game 4. Porzingis could potentially return for Game 5, but with the Celtics still garnering a 3-1 series advantage, the team could choose to limit his minutes severely, if he plays at all.
