Jayson Tatum's Comment / Kristaps Porzingis' Instagram Post

Porzingis was in his first season with the Celtics, and he was an excellent fit next to Tatum (and Jaylen Brown).

He ended the regular season with averages of 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.9 blocks per contest while shooting 51.6% from the field and 37.5% from the three-point range in 57 games.

Porzingis only appeared in seven 2024 playoff games (four starts) due to injuries.

However, he had an incredible showing in Game 1 of the Finals when he put up 20 points, six rebounds and three blocks while shooting 8/13 from the field and 2/4 from the three-point range in 31 minutes of playing time.

"He's been through so much in this league that he has a poise and a temperament about him... he's got great perspective... I think that's been a gift for our team this year"
