The last time fans saw Porzingis on the court, the big man was battling a mysterious illness prior to the Celtics being eliminated by the New York Knicks in the second round of the NBA playoffs. Porzingis later took to X to send a heartfelt message to Celtics fans following the trade.

The Boston Celtics have reportedly traded big man Kristaps Porzingis to the Atlanta Hawks as part of a three-team trade.

Kristaps Porzingis ended up being the Celtics’ second big trade of the summer as he was dealt to the Hawks as part of a three-team deal. Jrue Holiday was moved to the Trail Blazers a day before, ending what was a short-but-successful tenure for both veterans.
