Is it true Zingers is hurt...?

Yes. But they are just listing him as day to day right now. However, given the nature of the injury, that sounds like gamesmanship to me. Personally, I'd rest him in game 3. They've won without him before and its not the worst thing in the world if they happen to lose game 3.

Porzingis has 'rare injury'; questionable for G3

Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis suffered what the team called a "rare injury" to his left leg and is considered questionable to play in Game 3.

*It's a day to day thing for the remainder of the series.

Is it true Zingers is hurt...?

Yep … but nothing new really … some dr. eggheads are saying his injuries are related since one side stresses the other
… this injury is so rare they don’t really know how it will affect his play any more than his history of leg injuries … he tore (getting mixed reports of a detachment or not) a small tendon that goes over the outside ankle that may hinder his jumping, but that may be able to be helped by a support wrap or strap … the fix is surgery, but those toothpick legs will never be more than 80% … and may not have been for a long time:

They gotta limit Big Al to 28-30 minutes. His effectiveness drops if he has to play 33-35 or more minutes.

… then they went with the wrap … if he can leave the ground he could be fine

I think it’s a charade. I am betting he sits this out.

Yep … it seems like an obvious decision

Very moving story on Lively's mom passing away on ESPN.

 

[Pastafazul]

Portsingis hurt…. NO

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Terrible. Dude just started riffing during the anthem and I got lost on where we were twice. Tf man.

 

[bksballer89]

Please give THJ minutes

 

[DJ]

Dallas came out hot.

 

[DJ]

Portsingis hurt…. NO

Porzingis.

 

[Manster7588]

Portzingis doesn't matter according to some on here.
Here's to hoping they're right.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

One more weather break while I try to watch this game, and I am going postal

Luka cooking tatum

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Aggressive Kyrie is what the Mavs need to have any shot.

Hell of a start for them at home.

Boston missing the big man's defense in the paint.
