Kristaps Porzingis uncertain to play Game 3 of the NBA Finals 

Kristaps Porzingis hasn't played in Dallas since being traded from the Mavericks nearly 2 1/2 years ago. Now, his participation in Game 3 of the NBA Finals for the Boston Celtics is uncertain due to a rare tendon injury in his lower left leg. The injury, which occurred in the third quarter of Boston’s 105-98 victory for a 2-0 series lead, leaves him day-to-day, according to the team. Porzingis is determined to play Wednesday night.

The 7-foot-2 Latvian center has a tear in the tissue that holds tendons in place, unrelated to the right calf strain that sidelined him for 10 playoff games. Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla called it a “serious injury” and emphasized that the medical team would make the final decision on his play. Porzingis, wearing slides and a black sleeve on his leg, walked with a slight limp.
