Kristaps Porzingis hasn’t faced anything quite like the viral illness that is draining his energy against the Knicks.

"The Celtics have a clean injury list outside of Jayson Tatum," Weiss wrote. "No more designation for Sam Hauser, who returned from his ankle sprain, and none for Kristaps Porziņģis, who was benched for the second half last night due to his illness, but was available in an emergency."

Kristaps Porzingis struggled in the first half against the Knicks and was replaced in the starting lineup at halftime.
