Gary Washburn: Dr. Daniel Kharrazi, an orthopedic surgeon at Cedars-Sinai and former #Lakers advisor, advised @BostonGlobe he’s seen a damage like Porzingis’ as soon as in 25 years. He was optimistic about Porzingis’ skill to play: “Lots of occasions the ankle and the tendon may be taped to permit play. There are even some braces that they will use that helps defend the tendon. I don’t suppose it’s one thing that he’s gonna make worse by simply enjoying, particularly if he’s simply operating up and down the courtroom and even some lateral actions could also be OK. “This generally is a repetitive situation if he has awkward landings or together with his foot in sure positions that causes subluxation of the tendon. I don’t suppose it’s a season-ending damage. It’s day-to-day and so they need to reassess him. It’s one thing they’ll need to deal with with both taping or bracing after which reassess to see if it’s secure sufficient for him to play.” #Celtics #Mavericks #NBAFinals -via Twitter @GwashburnGlobe / June 11, 2024
