Porzingis delivered 17 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-8 FT), five rebounds, an assist and a block across 25 minutes in Sunday's 114-106 preseason win over the 76ers.
Porzingis sat out the 2023 FIBA World Cup due to plantar fasciitis but was deemed healthy at the start of training camp. If the preseason opener is anything to go by, he's expected to play a significant role during his first season with the Celtics. He averaged 23.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.6 blocks per game for the Wizards during the 2022-23 campaign, but he figures to see less usage now that he's sharing the court with elite playmakers in Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
