(AP Photo/Heather Khalifa) BOSTON (AP) — Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is slated make his season debut Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers following offseason ankle surgery. The 7-foot-2 Latvian center was upgraded from probable to available about an 90 minutes before tipoff, though Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said how much he'd play was to be determined. Veteran center Al Horford, who has started 14 of the Celtics 17 games this season, is out Monday with an illness. Fellow big man Luke Kornet is also sitting out as he continues to deal with hamstring tightness. “He has worked hard, he's in good shape. We'll put him in position to be healthy and be successful and do what's best for the team,” Mazzulla said. “He's been pretty consistent, just based on his work ethic and what he's done to get to this point.” Porzingis had surgery to fix a tear in the tissue that holds the ankle tendons in place. The issue limited him to seven playoff games during the Celtics' NBA championship run last season. Boston is 14-3 this season, but has missed his presence on the inside, with teams routinely outscoring the defending champions in the paint. Mazzulla acknowledged that how Porzingis plays on the offensive end, particularly how he operates sometimes out of the high and low post, will force some adjustment from how the team has played this season without him on the floor. “I think last year we had an opportunity to see how teams were guarding him,” Mazzulla said. "That'll take a little bit of time to figure out what the coverages are, just get used to that spacing. That'll take some time. ... Then we'll figure out how we go from there." The original window for Porzingis' return following surgery was five to six months. But Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens said before the season that they didn't want to hold to a specific timeline because of the uniqueness of the injury. Porzingis injured his ankle in Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks and missed the next two games. He returned for Game 5, contributing five points and one rebound in 16 minutes as the Celtics beat Dallas 106-88 to clinch their record 18th title. Porzingis averaged 20 points and seven rebounds in 57 games for last season. He signed a $60 million, two-year extension with Boston in the summer of 2023 after the Celtics acquired him in a trade with Washington. ___ AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/nba Kyle Hightower, The Associated Press See a typo/mistake?

Patriots heading back to the film room after their latest lopsided lossIf the top NBA awards were handed out one month into the 2024-25 NBA season, which players and coaches could stake their claim to the coveted titles? A few MVP-caliber superstars such as , and have found their teams struggling early in the season. Will they be able to lift their teams out of these ruts, or will early hiccups prevent these former MVPs from claiming the coveted crown again? After what was considered a down year for the 2024 NBA draft class, a few surprising rookies have made an immediate impact, putting the league on notice. No. 1 pick is still adjusting to the pace of the league, but the just tied the rookie After winning Rookie of the Year last season, will make the leap in Year 2 and take the Defensive Player of the Year title from four-time winner ? Or will another defensive stalwart, such as or , claim the award? We asked our NBA insiders to rank their top three choices for the six major awards up to this point in the season. A first-place vote received five points, a second-place vote received three and a third-place vote received one. | | | | Who will win NBA MVP? The conventional wisdom was that would have to clear an extraordinarily high bar to win his fourth MVP in five seasons. A month into the season, it simply isn't possible to present a rational argument that any other player in the league can claim the award over Jokic. The gap between Joker and the field was illustrated quite well during the Nuggets' road blowout over the Lakers on Sunday night. Jokic had a pretty typical performance by his standards (34 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and a block) while dominating , the runner-up in this award category. 50 points (67% of first-place votes) 22 points (25% of first place votes) 12 points 11 points (8% of first-place votes) 6 points 6 points Who will win NBA Rookie of the Year? , the two-time national player of the year at Purdue, walked into a big role in Memphis and was the favorite for this award entering the season. But a month into the season, it's a pair of players taken with back-to-back picks in the 2024 NBA draft, at No. 16 and at No. 17, who find themselves out in front of the rookie pack. So far, it has been a complete disaster for Philadelphia, but McCain has been the sole bright spot for the 76ers. He leads all rookies in points per game (16.6) and is shooting 40% from 3 on over six attempts per game even after a rough showing Sunday against the Clippers (3-for-15 FG in 28 minutes). 56 points (83% of first-place votes) 32 points (17% of first-place votes) 12 points 2 points 2 points 2 points 1 point 1 point Who will win Defensive Player of the Year? Since the start of last season, no player has logged more career games (71) with multiple blocks than Victor Wembanyama, who has swatted at least three shots in 11 of 14 appearances this season for a young Spurs team that is learning how to outlast opponents in close games. Wembanyama has posted more blocks (51) than Anthony Davis and Draymond Green combined (46) to go with 18 steals, despite sitting out three games due to injury. 43 points (67% of first-place votes) 16 points (8% of first-place votes) 16 points 12 points (8% of first-place votes) 5 points (8% of first-place votes) 5 points (8% of first-place votes) 3 points 3 points 2 points 2 points 1 point Who will win Sixth Man of the Year? He gets a lot less attention than the members of Boston's star-studded starting five, but has become one of the Celtics' most consistent players on a night-to-night basis. In 27 minutes per game off the bench, he's getting up an absurd eight 3s a game and hitting 41% of them, and he repeatedly has given Boston a significant lift in games where the Celtics have started out flat. has had a similar impact for the filling the role as a knockdown shooter next to Stephen Curry (42.2% on 7.7 attempts per game), while , last season's winner in this category, is again having a productive season (13.8 points on 49.1% shooting overall and 39.8% from 3) off the bench for Minnesota. 39 points (55% of first-place votes) 31 points (27% of first-place votes) 12 points 5 points (9% of first-place votes) 5 points (9% of first-place votes) 4 points 3 points 1 point 1 point Who will win Most Improved Player? The one-month check-in for this award is perhaps the category that looks the most different . Dyson Daniels has been a perfect complementary guard alongside -- and one of the league's best stoppers. One indication: The 21-year-old managed a league-best 102 deflections, 40 more than OG Anunoby, who ranks second. , one of the preseason favorites for Most Improved, is logging career highs in points, boards, assists, blocks and steals -- even as the 6-foot-6 wing plays a third of his minutes at center for the short-handed Thunder. Meanwhile, is in the midst of his most efficient season yet, averaging just over 24 points as he expands his playmaking ability for the rebuilding Nets. 25 points (33% of first-place votes) 17 points (17% of first-place votes) 11 points (17% of first-place votes) 10 points (17% of first-place votes) 10 points 8 points (8% of first-place votes) 5 points (8% of first-place votes) 5 points 4 points 3 points 3 points 1 point 1 point Who will win Coach of the Year? Four years after a four-year stint with the Nets that ended unceremoniously when he was fired for not being the right fit to lead a team with and (as if anyone truly was), Kenny Atkinson has seemingly found the perfect second act for himself in Cleveland. The Cavs' 15-game winning streak to start the season made them the toast of the league, and Atkinson has his squad boasting the No. 1-rated offense and No. 10-rated defense. Joe Mazzulla, fresh off a championship in his first season with the interim tag removed from his title, is the only coach to have figured out Atkinson's Cavs so far, handing Cleveland its lone loss. And Steve Kerr has the Warriors in contention for a fifth ring under his watch, despite failing to get out of the play-in tournament last spring and losing franchise legend in the offseason. 60 points (100% of first-place votes) 16 points 8 points 7 points 7 points 4 points 3 points 2 points 1 pointTikToker teaching science hopes short-form video will become part of curriculum
