The Boston Celtics have had to play multiple games in a row without their starting center, but they might be close to getting him back.

The Latvian center has missed a lot of time lately while dealing with what he recently revealed to be an unnamed viral infection, causing fans of the team to worry about whether this is simply a bad bug KP needs a little more time to recover from -- or something more serious that could jeopardize his health longer-term.

Kristaps Porzingis said he is dealing with an unidentified viral illness that has kept him out of several games. He is hoping to return soon.
