Celtics (2-1) at Heat (1-2) Round 1 Game 4 4/29/24

Need for it to be a cramp.

Right calf tightness per Celtics

[Neurotic Guy]

looks like calf or hammy cramp

KP should be fine

Didn’t look great.  Fingers crossed. A playoff injury to KP was inevitable.

Now let’s go JB - need a better half!

I think it’s Porzingis calf that is bothering him. He had black kinesio tape on it..

right calf tighness will not return

Didn't necessarily look like Achilles to me. Looked like a calf or hammy thing to me. Hopefully just a cramp, as that's how you react when you have a cramp like that. I remember both of my calfs simultaneously cramping up on me in a summer basketball game once, and I fell down like I got shot from it. Worst pain I can remember playing ball.

For God's sake, though, hopefully it's not the Achilles or a major strain.

I've asked this here and looked around online about KP being questionable today, but I couldn't find anything supporting that. But there's going to be some major questions if he was questionable and ended up playing and got injured.

I haven't seen anything about him being questionable other than this broadcast, so idk. They've been handling him with bubble wrap all year, though and I have my doubts that they would let him play if he had a chance at getting further injured.

Right Calf tightness,, I wouldn’t play him rest of series

rest him

play only IF NEEDED

[jpotter33]

Right calf tightness and doubtful. That seems like a best case scenario, honestly. If we finish this game, rest him next game, too. No need to risk it with a calf. We can handle Miami without him.

[celticinorlando]

I assume they won’t have KP in game 5. Have to finish off the Heat. Hope Orlando and Cleveland goes 7

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

KP seems so fragile tho ugh

[RJ87]

right calf tighness will not return

That's good news.

You can tell if an Achilles tear is suspected without imaging, there's some basic reflex tests you can do. They'll likely do an MRI to suss out the grade, but the early. classification of tightness is a positive.

[jpotter33]

Hopefully for Porzingus May be just a calf muscle that cramp no tear or strain

It looked like a cramp...

It was clearly bothering him all night. Hopefully just one of those things he's being a little extra sensitive to given his history with the calf.

might be a chance for Tillman to see some burn.
