Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is reportedly on the way back, just not imminently.
Porzingis is expected to miss Games 1 and 2 of the Eastern Conference finals, but there's optimism he will return at some point during the series barring a setback, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The big man has reportedly ramped up his on-court activity in anticipation of a return.
The Celtics still don't know whom they'll face in the conference finals, as the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers are still fighting for the second spot.
Porzingis sustained his injury in Game 4 of the first round against the Miami Heat on April 29.
Boston had little trouble dispatching the Cleveland Cavaliers in the previous round without Porzingis, with veteran Al Horford providing a major boost after being pushed into the starting lineup. The Celtics' four wins had an average margin of victory of 15 points, culminating in a 113-98 Game 5 win.
While it's looked easy for the Celtics so far, it's hard to argue they can reach their ceiling without a healthy Porzingis. Alongside Jrue Holiday, he joined the Boston starting lineup this season via a blockbuster trade and gave the Celtics a new look, adding up to a league-best 64-win season.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
