During Game 2 of the NBA playoffs, Kristaps Porzingis suffered a gash on his forehead but used the moment to engage with fans while still contributing 20 points and 10 rebounds to help the Boston Celtics clinch a 2-0 series lead over the Orlando Magic. Porzingis reflected on the incident, likening it to his previous bloody matchup earlier in April, and expressed his enjoyment of the dramatic moments that energize the crowd, embodying his lively persona and love for wrestling-inspired theatrics.
"I love my WWE moments," Porzingis said after tallying 20 points and 10 rebounds to help the Celtics take a 2-0 lead in the first-round series. "And then you know me. I always love engaging with the crowd..."
After taking the blow, Porzingis rose to his feet and started toward the locker room, with a towel atop his head as blood poured down his nose. He then broadcast an ear-to-ear smile and pointed to the crowd as Celtics fans rose to their feet and erupted in deafening cheers.
