Kristaps Porzingis has been limited in the East semifinals due to an illness, though there's still a lot unknown about it.

Porzingis has been pretty limited during the 2025 NBA Playoffs due to an illness, particularly in the second round against the New York Knicks. In Game 1, he started and played 13 minutes but exited the game at halftime. In Game 2, he came off the bench but only played 14 minutes. Boston lost both games.

Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla says the team has finally figured out what the mysterious illness Kristaps Porzingis has been dealing with is.
