UPDATE: Kristaps Porzingis is available.

UPDATE: According to Noa Dalzell of Celtics on CLNS, Kristaps Porzingis was at shootaround.

Via Dalzell: "Kristaps Porzingis, who missed last game with an illness and is questionable tonight, is here at the Celtics’ optional shootaround at MSG"

On Tuesday night, the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks will face off at Madison Square Garden.

For the game, the Celtics could be without one of their top players, as Kristaps Porzingis is on the injury report.

The 2018 NBA All-Star missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of the lineup (if he doesn't play).

Porzingis is in the middle of his second season playing for Boston.

The 2024 NBA Champion has averages of 19.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 blocks per contest while shooting 48.5% from the field and 40.4% from the three-point range in 40 games.
