Kristaps Porzingis has taken to social media to let the fans know what exactly is happening and why he has been missing so many games.

The long in short of the answer is an illness that hasn’t been fully identified by medical staff. It’s still unknown how long he will miss, or what exactly is causing him to have this illness. Porzingis has been out since February 26th.

“I have been dealing with some viral illness that we haven’t been able to fully identify yet,” Porzingis posted on the social media site during Monday’s game between the Celtics and Jazz in Boston. “I am recovering and getting better. But still working my way back to full [strength] to help this team. Thanks for support and [I’m] hoping for a healthy return soon.”

The Boston Celtics played the Utah Jazz Monday, which saw no Porzingis. According to Boston’s injury list, the 29-year-old is listed as “questionable” for Wednesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder – a highly anticipated game.

Due to this viral illness and him missing time due to the ankle surgery recovery, Porzingis has only played in 32 games this season. Boston has 17 games remaining before they begin their postseason adventure.

Jaylen Brown Penalized $25K For Throat-Slash Gesture

According to the NBA, they have fined Jaylen Brown $25,000 for making a gesture that saw him taking his thumb/hand across his throat in a slashing interpretation.

The throat-slashing gesture came after he posterized Isaiah Stewart in the first quarter of Wednesday’s game.

For those wondering, the league deemed it an “inappropriate gesture.”

According to multiple reports, the Boston Celtics have waived Lonnie Walker. He signed an Exhibit 10 contract earlier in the offseason.

Head coach Joe Mazzulla loved the work Walker showed the team during training camp and the preseason; however, if Boston were to sign him to their roster for the season, it would have cost them $11 million in salary. That would have been before the tax penalties.

President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens told the 25-year-old how difficult it would have been to make the team due to money and depth. Even with all that, Walker still opted to sign with them and show them his skills.

With the type of contract he has signed, if Walker doesn’t find another team to sign with, he can play for the Maine Celtics of the G League.

In 322 career games, Walker averaged 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 20.3 minutes.

Lonnie Walker Signs With The Boston Celtics

According to multiple reports, led by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Boston Celtics are adding Lonnie Walker IV to their team.

The 25-year-old is signing a one-year deal as a prove-it deal to the league that he can ball and be a useful piece to a championship/playoff contending team.

In 58 games for the Brooklyn Nets, Walker averaged 9.7 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. His shooting splits were 42.3% from the field and 38.4% from behind the arc.
