Key Celtics Star Marked Out For Game 5<\/h2>\n

Kristaps Porzingis<\/a>, who is averaging<\/a> 12.3 points, 5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in an up-and-down first-round series with the Miami Heat<\/a>, has been officially scratched with a calf injury. Porzingis suffered the injury after attempting a dribble hand-off with Jaylen Brown<\/a>, but he pulled up and immediately signaled for a substitution. It didn’t appear that anyone made contact with Porzingis on the play of the injury. The Celtics<\/a> big took the walk of shame to the locker room as he clapped his hands and muttered in frustration. Boston led the game 47-31 with two minutes and 36 seconds left in the second quarter.<\/p>\n
