Kristaps Porzingis to Miss Olympics for Leg Surgery

The Boston Celtics center will undergo surgery for a rare leg injury, sidelining him for Latvia's Olympic qualifying tournament.

Porzingis suffered a torn retinaculum and dislocated posterior tibialis tendon during the NBA Finals.
He played through the injury to help the Celtics secure their 18th NBA championship.
The surgery will prevent him from competing in the 2024 Summer Games in Paris.
Recovery is expected to take several months, potentially affecting next season's training camp.
Latvia will compete in an Olympic qualifying tournament without their star player.
