What happened to Kristaps Porzingis? Live injury updates for Magic vs. Celtics 4/23/25

UPDATE: Porzingis has returned to the game.


Celtics PF Kristaps Porzingis was elbowed in the face by Magic C Goga Bitadze in the second half of Wednesday’s Game 2. Porzingis had blood pouring out of his face and went to the locker room for a few moments before returning to the bench. Despite it being a large cut, it should have little effect on him moving forward.
