Boston President Provides An Injury Update On Two Important Celtics Players.
The Boston Celtics added more firepower to their existing strong roster by trading for Kristaps Porzingis this offseason.
Porzingis is undoubtedly one of the most talented big men in the NBA, but injuries have always held him back from reaching his true potential.
But Porzingis played more than 60 games for the first time since his sophomore year in the 2022-23 season, so that’s certainly a piece of good news for Celtics fans.
Speaking of good news, team general manager Brad Stevens shared an update about Kristaps Porzingis and Malcolm Brogdon’s health via Legion Hoops on Twitter.
As per Stevens, Porzingis and Brogdon are fully healthy ahead of the NBA Training Camp.
While Porzingis is expected to start alongside Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown during the regular season, Brogdon will assume the role of sixth man for the Celtics.
Porzingis averaged 23.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game in the 2022-23 season for the Washington Wizards.
On the other hand, Brogdon averaged 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game last season while donning the jersey of the Boston Celtics.
For the 2023-24, the two stars are expected to be teammates, but that might not be for long.

It was recently reported that the Celtics are scanning the market for a potential trade around Malcolm Brogdon.
Considering he has been a member of the Celtics for just a single season, it’s certainly surprising.
But if he ends up staying with the Celtics, being 100% healthy to start the season is certainly good news.
Will the Celtics win it all next season? Only time will tell.
