Kristaps Porzingis had to get four stitches on his nose, but he was in good spirits after the Celtics beat the Knicks in overtime.

Though the Celtics have faced the Knicks three times this season, Porzingis was only available for one of those games. In Boston's victory against New York on February 23, the Latvian native recorded 15 points, seven rebounds, three blocks, two assists, and a steal.

The slog of rehabilitating his dinged-up ankle and getting back into shape while his teammates were struggling without him was no easy journey.
