Boston Celtics big man Kristaps Porzingis is likely to miss Games 1 and 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals due to a strained right calf. The series is set to begin on Tuesday, May 21, with Game 2 on Thursday, May 23.

Porzingis sustained the injury in Game 4 of the first-round series against the Miami Heat. The Celtics have been optimistic about his return, which now appears possible in the middle of the Eastern Conference Finals.
