The Celtics acquired Porzingis, 27, on June 23 in a multi-team trade that sent long-time point guard Marcus Smart to Memphis.
Plagued by injuries throughout his career, Porzingis played in 65 games last season while averaging a career-high 23.2 points with 8.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game.
Also a potent 3-point shooter (38.5% in 2022-23), he should combine with Celtics mainstays Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to form one of the NBA’s best frontcourts.
