Tim Bontemps: He also said Kristaps Porzingis is playing, though it’s unclear if he will start again. Porzingis didn’t play in the second half of Game 5 after again struggling in the first half with his ongoing illness.Source: x.com

Love Luke starting obviously but he needs to avoid foul trouble or they’re in some trouble at C. Don’t think we see a ton of KP but I could be wrong – 7:50 PM

🇱🇻 Kristaps Porzingis held to 12 minutes due to illness as the Boston Celtics blow out the New York Knicks to force Game 6
“He couldn’t breathe, so he was available if absolutely necessary”

Porzingis remains on the bench to start the 4th. Luke Kornet gets a break. Horford/Pritchard/Holiday/Hauser/White start the 4th – 9:10 PM

Horford starts 4Q for Kornet. Looks like Kristaps is done for the night. #Celtics #Knicks – 9:10 PM

I like Brown’s approach so far. He doesn’t need to score every point tonight. They’re going to need something from Porzingis… – 7:43 PM

Kristaps Porzingis looked pretty energetic in his warmups. Probably the most energy he’s had in the warmups I’ve seen this series.
Who knows what that means. Take it for what it’s worth – 6:17 PM
