Porzingis was in his first season with the Celtics and was a great fit next to Tatum (and Jaylen Brown).

He finished the regular season with averages of 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.9 blocks per game while shooting 51.6% from the field and 37.5% from three-point range shot in 57 games.

Porzingis only appeared in seven 2024 playoff games (four starts) due to injuries.

However, he had an incredible performance in Game 1 of the Finals when he scored 20 points, six rebounds and three blocks while shooting 8/13 from the field and 2/4 from three-point range in 31 minutes of playing time.

In addition to the Celtics, Porzingis also spent time with the New York Knicks, Dallas Mavericks and Washington Wizards during nine seasons in the league.

He has career averages of 19.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 blocks per game while shooting 45.9% from the field and 36.1% from three-point range in 459 games.
