Celtics say Kristaps Porzingis is out vs Minnesota with a knee bruise. Jrue Holiday and Al Horford available.
Would likely mean no Al to help defend Giannis on B2B Thursday in Milwaukee. – 2:21 PM

Porzingis going through film with Mazzulla and Horford appeared briefly (both questionable tonight), but nobody’s on the floor since we entered with a leak. Boston weather matches Minnesota’s inconvenience pic.twitter.com/jy22nRJiGl – 11:16 AM

NBA Last Two Minute report says referees got Pacers’ Hield no-call on Celtics’ Brown right, should have been no-call on Porzingis leading to Pacers win.

With Hield no-foul upheld, this is where #NBA says #Celtics got screwed. Turner fouls White on the screen, Porzingis didn’t foul Mathurin. Whatever way you slice it, questionable, overreaching officiating cost us overtime in a GREAT game. pic.twitter.com/gCdLdA0kEX – 5:46 PM

The league backs up the review of the non-foul on Jaylen Brown …. But also said Myles Turner set an illegal screen AND the foul on Porzingis was wrong and should have been a no call – 5:23 PM

More to the point, Jaylen Brown argument falls on deaf ears…but the Porzingis foul ruled incorrect call. pic.twitter.com/vXaWOd95ng – 5:22 PM

#Celtics list both Horford and Porzingis on the injury report vs. the #Timberwolves ahead of the back-to-back at the #Bucks. Holiday listed too. Obviously, the conference matchup at Milwaukee is that much more important than Minnesota on the front end. – 4:57 PM

Gary Washburn: Ok here we go. League says Hield DID NOT foul Brown, calling the contact to the head “minimal.” BUT league also says Myles Turner fouled Derrick White in the final seconds and it wasn’t called and Porzingis DIDNT foul Mathurin on the final shot. #Celtics #Pacers pic.twitter.com/VX4yAr9PHk -via Twitter @GwashburnGlobe / January 9, 2024

Adam Himmelsbach: Kristaps Porzingis said he’s feeling good and will likely play tonight. Said he was just poked in the eye by Nesmith but no scratched cornea or anything. Doesn’t plan to wear eyewear tonight as of now. -via Twitter @AdamHimmelsbach / January 8, 2024
