Celtics President Brad Stevens Shares Update on Kristaps Porzingis After Illness

Boston Celtics president of basketball operations, Brad Stevens, addressed the media on Monday morning, a few days after the team's playoff exit.

The New York Knicks knocked out the Celtics in six games on Friday, officially ending Boston’s hopes of a repeat. With their title defense falling short, the attention now shifts to what steps the Celtics must take to return to the championship stage they reached in 2024.

It's too early to tell where the Celtics will pivot, as the NBA season has yet to conclude. Boston could go a multitude of ways, and one of those whose future with the team holding in the balance is Kristaps Porzingis.

Porzingis' second season in Boston was a roller coaster. The 29-year-od couldn't stay healthy and one way or another, it cost the Celtics.

While his future with the team is uncertain, Stevens shared how Porzingis will play for his home country in the 2025 FIBA EuroBasket.

“He’s gonna play for Latvia, I think that’s a good thing … I’m sure it’ll be well cleared up by then.”
