Porzingis will be able to participate in the “Celtics” match with the “Pacers”

(Title added, paragraphs 1 and 5.)

The game in Indianapolis will start at 2:00 on Tuesday, Latvian time.

Porzingis suffered an eye injury in Saturday’s previous match against the same Pacers. At the end of the first quarter, in the fight for a defensive rebound, Aron Nesmits hits Porzingis in the right eye with his hand, ending the match prematurely for the Latvian.

As “The Boston Globe” journalist Edam Himmelsbach writes on the “X” social network, Porzingis feels good and is confident for Monday’s match. In the collision with Nesmith, the cornea of ​​the eye was not damaged and he did not intend to wear protective glasses.

The Celtics will be without Jayson Tatum and Sam Hauser on Monday. Tatum has inflammation in his right ankle and Hauser has a shoulder injury.

This season, Porzingis averaged 19.8 points per 30 minutes in 26 games, grabbed 7.1 rebounds, dished out 1.7 assists and blocked 1.7 shots.

With 28 wins in 35 games, the Celtics are in first place in the Eastern Conference and in the entire league.
