Kristaps Porzingis of the Boston Celtics is unconcerned about a calf injury he suffered against the Orlando Magic.

The Boston Celtics are now attempting to find out how to maintain their amazing level of output so far in the 2023-24 NBA season in the absence of big man Kristaps Porzingis. According to Jared Weiss of The Athletic, Porzingis suffered a calf injury last week against the Orlando Magic that has already caused him to miss two Celtics games and is expected to keep him out for at least another week, but the big man does not believe the injury is serious in the long run.

Porzingis recently addressed the issue, and his remarks are guaranteed to assuage Celtics supporters worldwide.

“That’s good news. It’s nothing serious,” said Porzingis, per Taylor Snow. “Already making good progress and feeling better.”

Porzingis was officially diagnosed with a low-grade calf strain, per Snow.

When he’s been healthy, Porzingis has looked every bit the unicorn-like talent that the Celtics hoped for when they acquired him this summer. He and fellow splashy offseason acquisition Jrue Holiday have settled in nicely, and the team currently has the best record in the NBA at 13-4 as a result, with Porzingis already establishing a lethal duo with guard/forward hybrid Jaylen Brown as well as some nice synergy with the snake’s head in superstar Jayson Tatum.

Injury was always going to be Porzingis’ major worry given his illustrious past with them; however, it looks that this calf strain won’t keep him out for long.
