The Boston Celtics may be without one of their key players in Saturday's Game 3 matchup against the New York Knicks.

Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis came off the bench for the second straight game after an ominous report about his lingering illness.

In a surprising start to the second round of the NBA playoffs, the Boston Celtics find themselves trailing the New York Knicks 2-0 in their series. This comes after the Knicks rallied from 20-point deficits in the first two games to come away with a pair of narrow victories.
