Kristaps Porzingis

Kristaps Porzingis was traded to Boston to strengthen their offense; however, instead of the first option on offense, the 28-year-old will presumably be the third option behind Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Managing playing time for all three players will be challenging, but Boston added two additional years to Porzingis' contract, so there is confidence they'll figure it out. It'll be fascinating to see how playing on a winning team affects his stats, but fantasy managers need to take his injury risk into consideration. Though he dealt with an injury that kept him out of the FIBA World Cup, he is expected to be ready for training camp.

Kristaps Porzingis signs two-year extension with the Celtics

Boston Celtics and Kristaps Porzingis are expected to finalize a two-year, approximately $60 million extension.

Fantasy Impact

Porzingis was fully expected to be extended by the Celtics after being traded to Boston earlier in June. He should play at power forward primarily for Boston alongside Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
