The latest Kristaps Porzingis update might give Boston Celtics fans some regret. The Boston big man alum was just photographed suiting up for the Latvian National Team to play in FIBA action soon, and looked like he was in much better health than he was when he was playing for the Celtics.
Boston of course elected to trade away the Latvian center in order to get their cap hits under the NBA’s second apron and all the team building penalties that status brings with it, sending KP to the Atlanta Hawks in return for Georges Niang and said cap relief. After how he played for the Celtics in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, the move was not exactly unwelcome for many Boston fans. But will they feel regret if he reverts to the sort of player the Celtics hoped they were getting when they traded for him?
Cohost of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast, Sam LaFrance, took some time to talk it over with guest Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes and Hardwood Houdini fame. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about a potential Porzingis resurgence from a Boston point of view.
