The Boston Celtics will be without Kristaps Porzingis for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Indiana Pacers.

Porzingis, sidelined with a left calf strain since Game 4 of the first-round series against the Miami Heat, will miss another game. Despite his absence, the Celtics hold a commanding 3-0 lead over the Pacers.

Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla confirmed that Porzingis is still not ready to return. The team is cautious about his recovery to avoid further complications.

The Latvian forward’s injury has been a significant setback for Boston, but the team has managed to maintain its dominance. Porzingis’ absence will continue to test the Celtics’ depth as they aim to close out the series.
