Kristaps Porzingis leaves Friday’s game with left calf tightness

The Celtics may have suffered a major setback.

Center Kristaps Porzingis left the Celtics’ in-season tournament game against the Orlando Magic on Friday due to left calf tightness. Porzingis went to the locker room immediately after his injury and did not return to the game.

Porzingis appeared to have injured his calf during a play early in the third quarter. He received a pass from the top of the key and attacked a closeout attempt from Magic center Goga Bitadze, but stopped in his tracks just as he reached the free throw line.
