Kristaps Porzingis Will Miss FIBA World Cup With Foot Injury
1 year agoBoston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (foot) will ultimately miss the 2023 FIBA World Cup after conflicting reports about his health status. The all-star center announced on his Twitter that a joint decision by the medical and coaching staff of the Latvian national team and the Celtics was made to hold him out of the World Cup. His plantar fasciitis is what's holding him back and Porzingis stated that he had another MRI after several weeks of recovery. This decision seems to be in place to make sure he's ready to go when the NBA season starts but there hasn't been a firm timetable announced.
