"It’s tough for me, honestly. But who cares? Nobody feels sorry us, sorry for me — and we have to keep going.” The post Kristaps Porzingis: ‘It kills me inside’ that lingering illness is impacting play appeared first on Boston.

I’ve had ups and downs throughout up until this point,” Porzingis said. He played 14 minutes as the Celtics dropped to 0-2 in the playoff series.

The Celtics allowed another 20-point comeback from the Knicks on Wednesday, losing 91-90 after going cold in the fourth quarter. Porzingis was still nursing an illness that forced him out of the second half of Game 1, coming off the bench in Game 2 and scoring eight points with four rebounds in just 14 minutes.
