For a player left in injury recovery limbo, a nine-day layoff before the start of the NBA Finals might be just what the doctor ordered.That's the position of the Boston Celtics with injured forward Kristaps Porzingis . He last played in the first round against the Miami Heat and is recovering from what the team labeled a right calf strain.
He did not play in a game during the month of May, and the Celtics are on a seven-game winning streak and have gone 9-1 overall since Porzingis was injured in Game 4 of a first-round series against the Miami Heat.Al Horford played a big role in the Eastern Conference finals and said he'll be ready to do anything the Celtics need if Porzingis isn't back in the fold."For me, it's whatever it takes. I really just want to win," Horford said.
