How Soon Can Boston Celtics Kristaps Porzingis Return From Calf Injury?

The Latvian superstar suffered a right soleus calf strain in Game 4 of the Miami Heat series and has yet to return to the playoffs. The Boston Celtics have advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals and are awaiting the winner of the Indiana Pacers - New York Knicks series. 

At sicscore.com, we expect Porzingis to remain out until the NBA Finals

Despite posting social media videos of himself shooting, our panel of Pro Basketball Docs believes he is not close to returning and will likely miss the next series. 

The Celtics have managed to get by with a rotation of big men led by Al Horford, but they certainly miss Porzingis' contribution of 20.1 points and 7.2 rebounds per game.
