Asked Jaylen Brown about how Kristaps Porzingis may change Boston’s extreme 3-point volume due to his ability to score inside the 3-point line

Porzingis subs out with 22 min. early in the 4th. Have to assume that’s it for him if C’s can maintain this 20pt edge. – 9:19 PM

More on this storyline
Jared Weiss: Brad Stevens spoke about the Porzingis return on the @NBCSBoston Celtics broadcast: “I don’t think we realized it until we really got into camp and then you see him work. When we saw him in Abu Dhabi, the way he was moving and the way he felt, it was pretty obvious he was going to be at the front end of that timeline.” -via Twitter @JaredWeissNBA / November 25, 2024
Bobby Manning: Joe Mazzulla on Porzingis: “We haven’t had as much versatility (defensively) while he’s been out.” Doesn’t know about minutes or how often he’ll be playing game-to-game. -via Twitter @RealBobManning / November 25, 2024
Law Murray: Kristaps Porzingis is officially active for tonight vs Clippers Al Horford and Luke Kornet are officially out -via Twitter @LawMurrayTheNU / November 25, 2024
