According to Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype, "several executives" around the National Basketball Association believe Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis could be traded. The veteran is due to make nearly $31 million during the 2025-26 campaign. However, he's entering the final season of his current contract, so the franchise may look to move him while trying to avoid "massive tax implications." Porzingis played a significant role in helping the Celtics capture an NBA title. Unfortunately, he appeared in only 42 regular-season games in 2024-25 and was also limited by an illness during the playoffs. With that said, Porzingis is a productive fantasy option. However, his various health issues over the years will continue to negatively impact his fantasy value moving ahead.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) finished with eight points and four rebounds in Wednesday's loss to New York. The former Knick logged only 13 minutes in Game 1 before he was ruled out for the remainder of the contest. While he was able to suit up for Game 2, he's still dealing with the remnants of the illness that cost him time during the regular season, limiting him to only 14 minutes from off the bench. With only 27 minutes combined for Porzingis in the first two contests of the series, both teams will head to Madison Square Garden for Game 3. It's apparent the C's need Porzingis involved more than he has been. However, it's unknown how much action he'll see on Saturday, so DFS managers should consider keeping him out of the lineup.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has been upgraded from probable to available for Wednesday's Game 2 against the New York Knicks. Porzingis' night was cut short in the series opener due to illness, but he is ready to suit up for Wednesday's clash. On Monday night, Porzingis finished scoreless with four rebounds on 0-for-4 shooting, and a much better performance is expected from him in Game 2. However, he has been sluggish in these playoffs, averaging only 10.0 points and 5.5 rebounds, making it difficult for fantasy managers to trust him.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is likely to suit up on Wednesday night against the New York Knicks, as the team has listed him as probable for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Latvian big man logged only 13 minutes in the series opener on Monday, exiting the action due to illness. It has been a challenging postseason for Porzingis, who has averaged just 10.0 points and 5.5 rebounds while shooting a dismal 32.8 percent from the field. If he can't improve his performance, the Celtics might find that having Al Horford on the court could be a better option for the team.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is questionable to return to Monday's playoff clash with the Knicks. Leading up to his premature exit, he logged only 13 minutes, failing to score a point while adding four rebounds. The C's have a decisive lead heading toward the fourth quarter, so it's certainly possible Porzingis won't be back on Monday night. If that's the case, Luke Kornet and Al Horford should handle things underneath the basket the rest of the way.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't play on Sunday against Charlotte. The veteran missed eight straight games in February and March because of an illness. He also sat out four more contests since returning for the March 15 win over the Brooklyn Nets. With that said, the Celtics have already secured the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference heading toward the playoffs, so Sunday's result won't matter. Al Horford (knee) also won't suit up, meaning Luke Kornet, who had 14 points, three boards, one steal, and one block in his last start, should return to the starting lineup.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't suit up for Wednesday's clash with the Magic. He had a team-high 34 points in Tuesday's overtime win over the New York Knicks. But with Boston having already secured the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, Porzingis will get the night off. Al Horford (knee) also won't play, meaning Luke Kornet may get the start, with the 29-year-old averaging 9.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 14 starts this season. Xavier Tillman Sr. may also see extended minutes, considering Jayson Tatum (ankle) also won't be on the floor.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Knicks, his former team. The 29-year-old has battled an illness for a large portion of the 2024-25 campaign. However, it most recently kept him off the floor for Sunday's blowout win over the Washington Wizards. Luke Kornet got the start, finishing with 13 points and 14 rebounds. With Al Horford (knee) already ruled out, Kornet should get more minutes than usual. However, Kornet's fantasy ceiling will increase even more if Porzingis can't suit up.

According to Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Boston Celtics forward/centerKristaps Porzingis(illness) has been ruled for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. A mysterious illness caused Porzingis to miss a couple of weeks at the beginning of last month, and he is still coping with its effects, which led him to miss another game Wednesday night.Al Horford(toe) is also out for the contest, soLuke Kornet will have a hectic night in the frontcourt.Neemias QuetaandXavier TillmanSr. will likely provide cover at center.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. A mysterious illness caused Porzingis to miss a couple of weeks at the beginning of last month, and he is still coping with its effects, possibly leading him to miss another game Wednesday night. Al Horford (toe) is also iffy for the contest, so Luke Kornet may have an extremely busy night in the frontcourt. Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman Sr. would provide cover at the five.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) will continue to sit on Friday against the Miami Heat. Boston has now listed him as questionable on the injury report a couple of times, but Porzingis is still working his way back from an illness and isn't yet ready for game action. His next chance to return will come quickly, as Boston also heads out on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets. Al Horford will continue to do extra work on Friday with Porzingis out. The veteran had a very busy night last time out against the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing a 118-112 loss on Wednesday with 18 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks, and one steal in 34 minutes.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Porzingis is in danger of missing his eight straight game due to an illness. Porzingis originally sat the Toronto Raptors game on February 25 as a late scratch because of the illness. He then played in Detroit the day after, but has missed every game since then. Porzingis played in 32 games this season. He is averaging 18.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 28.9 minutes per game. If Porzingis remains sidelined, Neemias Queta and Luke Kornet may carry greater workloads on Friday.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) will not play in Wednesday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He will skip a seventh consecutive game as Porzingis continues to recover from a mystery illness. Porzingis took part in the shootaround Wednesday morning, so he could be ready for game action really soon. Next up, the Celtics will have a back-to-back against Miami and Brooklyn, which starts on Friday. Al Horford (toe) will be back in the lineup for Wednesday's game and benefit most from Porzingis' absence.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Thunder. The 29-year-old has averaged 18.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks this season, all down from the 2023-24 campaign. He's also appeared in only 32 games, most recently missing the last six games because of an illness. If Porzingis is available, he's a must-start in all fantasy formats against arguably the best team in the NBA. But if he can't suit up, Al Horford, averaging 9.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 37.6% shooting from deep in 34 starts this season, will likely handle things in the middle. Horford could be even more productive if Jayson Tatum (knee) can't play after missing Monday's win over Utah because of a knee injury.

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) missed a sixth consecutive game on Monday against the Utah Jazz, and it's unclear when he will be able to return to the court. On Monday, Porzingis announced on his official X account that he is dealing with a mysterious viral illness. "I have been dealing with some viral illness that we haven't been able to fully identify yet," Porzingis posted. "I am recovering and getting better. But still working my way back to full strength to help this team." With Al Horford (toe) also out, Luke Kornet logged 30 minutes as Boston's starting center on Monday, finishing with five points, eight rebounds, two steals, and one block. Neemias Queta had eight points, eight rebounds, and one block in 17 minutes as the backup.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The big man will miss his fifth game in a row due to a lingering illness. There seemed to be some hope that Porzingis would play on Saturday, but he'll ultimately be held out for at least one more game. Al Horford will move into the starting five and becomes a more appealing fantasy option. Sam Hauser and Luke Kornet should also see more run in the rotation with Porzingis sidelined.

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the visiting Lakers. He's missed the last four contests because of an illness. But it appears the 29-year-old has a better chance of returning to the lineup. Al Horford, who didn't play on Thursday versus Philadelphia, is off the injury report, meaning he should slide into the starting lineup if Porzingis doesn't play. Luke Kornet, coming off a nine-point, seven-rebound, four-block showing, will likely head back to the bench.
