DONE TRADE: Celtics Have Finally Concluded A $99.5m Exchange Of A Star Player For…

The wait is over, Celtics fans! Kristaps Porziņģis is back in action for the Boston Celtics. After a 5-game absence due to a right hamstring strain, the Latvian big man made his much-anticipated return against the Detroit Pistons. The injury wasn’t a major concern, and the Celtics likely used this time to cement their dominant lead in the Eastern Conference while giving Porziņģis a chance to fully recover before their playoff run. Safe to say, Celtics fans are thrilled to see him back on the court.

Porziņģis’ last appearance was a home loss to Denver. Tonight, with several key players out, Al Horford (toe/rest), Jrue Holiday (shoulder), and Jayson Tatum (ankle), Porziņģis is expected to be the offensive force. In the early stages of the fourth quarter, with Boston leading 92-71, he’d already chipped in 17 points and 7 rebounds. After racking up a total of 20 points and 8 rebounds, Kristaps exits the game, and guess what follows? A standing ovation from the crowd!
