The Boston Celtics are moving closer to getting Kristaps Porzingis back in their rotation. The veteran All-Star has missed the opening months of the season as he continues to recover from offseason surgery. Recently, Porzingis has been seen becoming increasingly vocal on the sidelines while reports of his recovery have begun to pick up pace.

Coach Joe Mazzulla said Porzingis has been doing some full-court one-on-five work with assistant coaches. Point guard Jrue Holiday worked on defensive drills with Porzingis during Friday’s practice, and it provided a reminder of what Porzingis will provide when he returns.

Kristaps Porzingis is progressing well in his rehab, though there's still no concrete timetable on his return.
