You could see it in his body before you heard it in his voice. Kristaps Porzingis didn’t just look tired after the Celtics’ Game 6 postgame. He looked… off. The kind of off that can’t be chalked up to a hard playoff run or the usual wear and tear. Something deeper, stranger, and still unnamed.
“I played, I don’t know, 11 minutes but I’m cast right now,” he admitted. “Like I could just lay down over here and just take a little nap easy.”
The words were said with a casual shrug, but they landed like a gut punch. This wasn’t about soreness or conditioning. This was a franchise cornerstone essentially waving a red flag—and no one, not even the Celtics’ medical staff, seems to know exactly what’s going on.
Porzingis confirmed doctors are still investigating what he calls “many symptoms that were kind of super weird.” And as the postseason pressure mounts, the bigger concern might not be what’s ahead on the court—but what’s quietly unraveling of it.
“Doctors are trying to help as much as possible,” Porzingis said, “but… nobody has a clear answer.” That’s not just unusual for an NBA player. That’s unsettling. Especially when the postseason hinges on more than box scores, like whether your 7’2” anchor can stay upright.
