Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis isn't afraid of a little blood or the Magic's attempts to daunt his squad in the first round.

After the Magic’s Paolo Banchero missed a jumper with less than a minute to go in the third quarter of the Celtics’ 109-100 Game 2 win in Boston, Porzingis took an inadvertent elbow to the noggin from Goga Bitadze as the two vied for the loose ball.

As the Celtics took 2-0 home lead over the Magic in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs, Porzingis briefly exited Game 2 with a forehead injury after taking contact from Bitadze in the third quarter. The latter earned a flagrant foul for it after review.
