Kristaps Porzingis has been ruled out for Game 5 by the Boston Celtics with a right soleus strain. The soleus is part of the calf muscle.

The injury is expected to keep Porzingis out of multiple games. According to Jeff Stotts, the average time missed for a soleus strain is 17 days.

The injury is the same one that has kept Giannis Antetokounmpo out of the Milwaukee Bucks' first round series against the Indiana Pacers.

The Los Angeles Clippers have ruled out Kawhi Leonard for Game 5 with his right knee inflammation.

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch will have surgery for a ruptured right patellar tendon on Wednesday. Finch was injured near the end of the Timberwolves Game 4 victory over the Phoenix Suns. Minnesota guard Mike Conley collided with Finch on a play near the sideline.

Finch's status to be on the bench for Game 1 of the Wolves second round series against the Denver Nuggets is unknown. Finch may have to coach the game from the locker room, sending his plans to the assistants on the bench. Minnesota is expecting their coach to be able to travel to Denver for Game 1, barring any unexpected complications.

Finch led the Timberwolves to the second-most wins they've had in regular season franchise history. Minnesota's sweep of the Suns was only the second time in which the team has won a first round series.

Kristaps Porzingis left Game 4 of the Boston Celtics' first round series against the Miami Heat with a non-contact injury.

The Celtics publicly announced Porzingis was doubtful to return with right calf tightness.

Sources tell ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that the early indications are Porzingis did not sustain an injury to his Achilles. 

When a player tears his Achilles, it is typically a fairly obvious immediate diagnosis. 

The status of Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf strain) and Damian Lillard (Achilles tendon strain) is in doubt for Game 5 as the Milwaukee Bucks face a potential elimination.

Antetokounmpo has missed the entire series with the injury, while Lillard missed Game 4.

The Bucks trail the Indiana Pacers 3-1 in the first round series.

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic won't use a right knee injury as an excuse for his struggles in the first-round playoff series against the LA Clippers. But Doncic is clearly playing through it, and he feels as if that's putting a lot on Kyrie Irving's shoulders.

"I just got to help him more," Doncic said of Irving. "I feel like I'm letting him down, so I got to be there. I got to help him more. He's given everything that he has, and he's been amazing for us the whole series."

Doncic injured his right knee in the first quarter of Game 3. It's impacted his ability to create separation from the Clippers defenders. But the Mavs star expects himself to be better, despite the injury.

"It's hurting obviously, but it shouldn't be an excuse, man," said Doncic on playing 45 minutes in Game 4. "Just came out and a little sloppy, so I got to be way better than that."

The Clippers won Game 4 to even the series at 2-2. Game 5 is in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
