Porzingis had a calf injury earlier in the year as well, but it was his left. This was from December:
Porzingis, who has yet to fully recover from a left calf strain he sustained one month ago, will sit out Saturday’s game with a left ankle sprain. He suffered his latest ailment against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday when he rolled his ankle after landing awkwardly on another player.
Porzingis finished that game, but the Celtics presumably want to give the 28-year-old’s left leg some extra rest.
Prior to experiencing his latest injury, Porzingis told reporters that the team was being careful with him in terms of sprinkling in rest days as he healed up from his calf strain.
“It’s just I think the medical staff is taking a more cautious approach, especially the first couple weeks coming back from the calf,” Porzingis said on Dec. 17. “But they know my stance: I want to play in every game they allow me. But of course, they want to be smart with me and my health. Make sure I’m here for the long picture.” Porzingis, who has yet to fully recover from a left calf strain he sustained one month ago, will sit out Saturday’s game with a left ankle sprain.
