Kristaps Porzingis Nears Return for Celtics in Eastern Conference Finals

Optimism grows for Porzingis' Game 4 comeback against the Pacers after calf injury recovery progresses.

Porzingis has been out since April 30 due to a right calf strain sustained in the first round against the Heat.
The Celtics have been cautious with his recovery, ensuring he is fully ready before returning to the court.
Porzingis' defensive and offensive skills are seen as crucial for Boston's championship aspirations.
He averaged 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, and led the league in paint defense during the regular season.
If the Celtics advance, Porzingis could be pivotal in the NBA Finals against either the Timberwolves or Mavericks.
