Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday injuries not serious
Mazzulla said before the game that Holiday and Porzingis are getting better every day, but wouldn’t provide specific details on their timetable or the seriousness of their shoulder and ankle ailments, respectively. Holiday missed his third straight game and sixth overall. Porzingis, ruled out earlier in the afternoon than most players labeled questionable are, sat out a second straight night following his sprain on Christmas. I’m told their injuries aren’t considered serious.Source: CLNSMedia.com What’s the buzz on Twitter?

As expected, Pacers forward Obi Toppin (left ankle sprain) has been ruled out for tonight in Boston. Holiday and Porzingis are questionable.
Toppin rarely misses games — and he’s posting career-high numbers.
