Porzingis arrived in Boston via trade prior to the 2024 NBA season, during which the Celtics won the league title.
The Latvian big man significantly raised Boston’s ceiling every time he stepped on the court but struggled to remain healthy, most recently dealing with a respiratory illness that severely limited him in the final stretch of the regular season and playoffs, our sister station Boston 25 reports.
The center was in the final year of his contract and was due $30 million in 2026.
Porzingis was named a NBA All-Star in 2018.
