BOSTON — The Celtics will be shorthanded for Game 2 against the Knicks, but as expected, it’s not too bad. Kristaps Porzingis was upgraded on the injury report from probable to available due to his illness. Sam Hauser, the lone player unavailable, went from doubtful to out with the right ankle sprain he suffered in Game 2.

The Celtics allowed another 20-point comeback from the Knicks on Wednesday, losing 91-90 after going cold in the fourth quarter. Porzingis was still nursing an illness that forced him out of the second half of Game 1, coming off the bench in Game 2 and scoring eight points with four rebounds in just 14 minutes.

After both Kristaps Porzingis and Sam Hauser left Monday night's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks early, the Celtics have announced what their availabilities are for Game 2.
