Celtics' Derrick White on Knicks Series Sweep, 'It Means Nothing' Starting center Kristaps Porzingis believes that one Celtics player should be shut down for the rest of the regular season. He thinks that Jaylen Brown needs to be put on the shelf until the playoffs start.

The slog of rehabilitating his dinged-up ankle and getting back into shape while his teammates were struggling without him was no easy journey.

The Boston Celtics have played almost half the 2024-25 season without Kristaps Porzingis. With 80 games having been played, Porzingis has been active for 41 of them. The Latvian center missed the start of the season because he was recovering from ankle surgery.
