He remained down for several moments before making 1 of 2 free throws and being helped to Boston’s locker room.
Kristaps Porzingis had 16 points and seven rebounds after missing Sunday’s win in Portland, Payton Pritchard scored 20 points and Derrick White added 12 points and eight assists for the Celtics.
