Porzingis injury updates (Update: Dislocated Tendon)

[Surferdad]

Brad?s number one priority is finding a big that can shoot from three to add to the bench next season as insurance for KP.

Well, Tilman hit a big 3. Man his body type/size is so much like Al Horford that I mix them up sometimes (if not looking at the jersey number).

Can?t help but think that Brad got Tillman precisely to see if he could be the Al replacement in the future.

really hope we can keep tillman. i think he'd be even better with a full year with the team. and i'll ask again, if a 3pt shooting big is important, why can't Kornet go back to shooting 3's? i get that it might not the most useful way to use him, but then i don't get looking for another shooting big. sure, if you can find another shooting big who is more diverse, you do it. but then you're talking about looking for another porzingis and that's not happening. i just don't see why kornet can't spread the defense in those cases where that's what the team needs.

i'm kind of leaning that way. even if he can give us 10 minutes of average defense and a boost in rebounding, tillman can handle another 10 and Al can go full out for the rest of the game, hoping to put the series away.

Tillman & Big Q should have bigger roles next season

No way he plays tomorrow.  If he?s good enough to play Friday, he was good enough to play last night in what was an even more important game.

[Birdman]

I wouldn?t play him, if we lose, he play some at home when we win the championship 😁 but he isn?t coming back if it goes to 7 games

[cman88]

we up 3-0. he's done for the series. thanks for the first 2 games.

now get healthy for next year as we bring back this team.

Jalen Smith? I was looking at list and he might be the only free agent that can hits 3's at a good clip. Claxton is a free agent too and plays good defense but is only post threat and definitely not from afar.

Hope Big Al sticks with us for a few more years even if more limited. His influence on this team cannot be understated too.

Shams said a real possibility he plays in game 4

Not doubting you but where did he say this?

He said it on his Fanduel TV Run it Back podcast.

Expected to do more today at practice.

TP. That's nice to hear! 

I'm no expert of course but if it really is a pain tolerance thing then it wouldn't hurt to have him out there for 10-15 mins.

[celticinorlando]

I think KP wants to be on court and in uniform contributing in the close out game. If he is moving well and there is not a risk of further injury then he could get them 10 minutes a half.
