The Boston Celtics have announced that Kristaps Porzingis will not be available for Game 5 due to a right soleus strain, a muscle injury in the calf. This injury typically requires an average of 17 days of recovery time according to Jeff Stotts.

Interestingly, this is the same type of injury that has sidelined Giannis Antetokounmpo during the Milwaukee Bucks’ first-round series against the Indiana Pacers.
