Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis Questionable Due to Injury

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is currently questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls due to a right heel contusion sustained during a match against the Wizards. Despite the injury, head coach Joe Mazulla reported that Porzingis has been practicing and is making progress, indicating that the injury is not serious and unrelated to his previous ailments. Porzingis has had a challenging season, playing only seven games due to various injuries, yet he has averaged 19 points and 7 rebounds per game. In a more somber note, Porzingis mourned the recent death of his former teammate Janis Timma, emphasizing the importance of mental health and human connection. The Celtics are currently 21-5 overall, holding the second spot in the Eastern Conference. Porzingis's injury history raises concerns, especially since it follows a previous issue with plantar fasciitis in the same foot.
