Kristaps Porzingis ($6,100) did not come out for the second half of Game 1 against the Knicks due to a non-COVID illness. He ended up playing 13 minutes and contributed four rebounds and an assist.
After being listed as probable for Game 2, Porzingis was upgraded to available but will not be starting. Al Horford ($5,000) is getting the starting nod instead with Porzingis coming off the bench.
Boston is trying to even up the series after losing Game 1, 108-105 in overtime.
Game 3 is in New York on Saturday.
