Out of all the possible options this is one the better outcomes for the Celtics. Porzingis could return in as soon as three weeks, though I wouldn't bet too much on that. The key is that there is now a realistic chance the Celtics would be back to full strength if they make the NBA Finals which begins five weeks from Thursday.
