On Monday evening, the Boston Celtics advanced to the NBA Finals when they beat the Indiana Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals.

They will now face off against either the Minnesota Timberwolves or the Dallas Mavericks with Game 1 on June 6 in Boston.

While the Celtics have gone 12-2 in their first 14 games of the 2024 NBA playoffs, they have played without Kristaps Porzingis for each of the previous ten games.

On Wednesday, the 2018 NBA All-Star sent out a message on X that indicated a return could be near.

Via Porzingis translated to English: "Thank you to everyone who supports and sympathizes throughout the season. I'll be back in line soon. See you in the finals ☘️ and then in the arena with your own 🇱🇻🙌"

Paldies visiem, kuri atbalsta un jūt līdzi visas sezonas garumā.
Pavisam drīz jau būšu atpakaļ ierindā. Tiekamies finālos ☘️ un pēctam arēnā ar savējiem 🇱🇻🙌
