As the Boston Celtics suffered their fourth road loss of the season at the hands of the Orlando Magic, Kristaps Porzingis wasted no time heading to the locker room.

Joe Mazzulla, head coach of the Boston Celtics, started backup center Luke Kornet for the remainder of Friday’s NBA In-Season Tournament game after Porzingis hurt himself in the third quarter. Porzingis’ night came to a close with 6:44 minutes remaining in the frame. In 22 minutes of play, he scored nine points, grabbed four rebounds, and had two assists.

The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn reports that the 28-year-old will have an MRI on Saturday. Following a disheartening loss overall, it is encouraging to hear that Porzingis does not think the issue warrants serious worry.

Porzingis has matured into an important cog in the wheel of the Celtics’ new-look offense, which he shares with Jaylen Brown. The 7-foot-3 veteran has shot 54.7% from the floor, a career-best, and averaged 18.9 points per game with 6.7 rebounds.
