Boston Celtics\u00a0center\u00a0Kristaps Porzingis suffered what the team called a “rare injury” to his left leg and has been downgraded to questionable for Game 3 of the 2024 NBA Finals<\/a> at the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday.<\/p>\n The Celtics announced Tuesday that Porzingis has a torn medial retinaculum allowing dislocation of the posterior tibialis tendon in his left leg. According to Boston's injury report, Porzingis' status for the upcoming Finals games will be “determined day-to-day.”<\/p>\n Porzingis, 28, suffered the injury during the third quarter of Sunday's Game 2 victory. However, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Tuesday that there's no indication Porzingis will be ruled out and not permitted to play at Dallas in Game 3.<\/p>\n “It's kind of a random situation,” Porzingis said Tuesday. “I felt something, and now I have to deal with it.<\/p>\n “As we said, yeah, it's going to be day-to-day, and I'll see how I am tomorrow, and obviously I'm going to do everything I can to be out there tomorrow, and we'll see.”<\/p>\n Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis suffered a torn medial retinaculum allowing dislocation of the posterior tibialis tendon.<\/p>\nBoston Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis has a torn medial retinaculum, dislocation of the posterior tibialis tendon<\/h2>\n
