Kristaps Porzingis missed the Celtics' 118-112 loss to the Thunder on Wednesday night. Porzingis has missed seven of the last eight games with a non-COVID illness.

The Boston Celtics have had to play multiple games in a row without their starting center, but they might be close to getting him back.

The Latvian center has missed a lot of time lately while dealing with what he recently revealed to be an unnamed viral infection, causing fans of the team to worry about whether this is simply a bad bug KP needs a little more time to recover from -- or something more serious that could jeopardize his health longer-term.
