After a surprising loss to the Miami Heat, the Boston Celtics dominated the Phoenix Suns 123-103. However, not everyone made it out of the game unscathed.

Center Kristaps Porzingis wound up leaving the game early after he took an elbow to the face from Cody Martin. It turns out that he will require stitches. There's no telling when he'll be able to return to the court.

Porzingis was instrumental in the Celtics winning the NBA Championship last season. While he has missed a majority of this year due to injury, he still made a solid impression, averaging 19.4 points, 6.9 total rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 0.8 steals per game across 39 games.

Heading into the game against Phoenix, Boston was also originally expected to miss the game. He wound up recording 31 points, five rebounds, and three assists.
