Boston won the road game 102-88 and took a 3-1 lead in the series. The fifth game will take place on Thursday night Latvian time in Boston’s “TD Garden” arena.
Porzingis’ injury is similar to the one Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Adetokunbo suffered against the Celtics on April 9. The Bucks beat the Indiana Pacers 115-92 on Wednesday night to close at 2-3 in the series. Adetokunbo could also return to the field in the series against the Pacers – so in the next two to four days.
If the Celtics beat the Heat in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals, Boston will face the winner of the series between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Orlando Magic in the second round, where the Cavaliers lead 3-2 after winning Game 5 104-103. On the other hand, the final of the Eastern Conference could start on 19-21. in May, and by this time Porzingis could theoretically be expected to return to the court.
