The top-seeded Boston Celtics will open the Eastern Conference semifinals on Tuesday without center Kristaps Porzingis, who vowed to recover from a calf injury "at a historic rate."

On Wednesday evening, Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics officially punched their ticket to the second round of the 2024 NBA playoffs with a thrashing of the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference first round, exacting some revenge on (what was left of) a squad that sent them home in 2023.
With Kristaps Porzingis most likely out for Round 2 and a minefield of teams on Boston’s path for Banner 18, the Celtics will have to play different styles to get where they want to go.
When he arrived in Boston last June, an exuberant Kristaps Porzingis told Inside The Celtics about the motivation of knowing the franchise viewed him as
Luke Kornet finally got an opportunity to show what he could do in a playoff game, and he proved he’s more than just a replacement. Luke Kornet is too often relegated to the “funny guy.” The guy that does weird celebrations.

First, there was “How to tie a tie.” Now, a second tutorial is up. Building on his viral YouTube video that fans dug up years ago, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is now teaching everyone the art of tying shoelaces.
With Kristaps Porzingis sidelined due to a soleus strain in his right calf that, based on the injury's recovery timetable, may keep him from suiting up in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Celtics will lean even further on Al Horford.
In Game 4 against the Heat Kristaps Porzingis went down with a calf injury. Since then he’s officially been diagnosed with a soleus calf strain, the same injury Giannis Antetokounmpo recently dealt with.

Out of all the possible options this is one the better outcomes for the Celtics.
