Boston Celtics forward Kristaps Porzingis, who hasn’t played since Game 4 of the first round, seems to be on track to return for the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks.
The NBA Finals are set after the Dallas Mavericks took down the Minnesota Timberwolves last week in five games.
Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics swept the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals and then watched closely as they awaited their opponent.
Both teams have made it to the final best-of-seven series, and while they both possess star power, every player is needed to capture the Larry O’Brien Trophy at the end of it all.
For Boston, a key player in helping them earn the top seed in the Eastern Conference this year is currently on track to return just in time for the finals.
Kristaps Porzingis, the 7-foot big man whose game knows no restrictions when healthy, has been dealing with a strained left calf that he suffered in Game 4 of Boston’s first-round series with the Miami Heat on April 29.
