The 2018 NBA All-Star finished last season with averages of 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 blocks per contest while shooting 51.6% from the field and 37.5% from the three-point range in 57 games.

He helped the Celtics finish as the first seed in the Eastern Conference (and win their first NBA Championship since the 2008 season).

That said, Porzingis will miss the start of the 2024-25 season.
