Kristaps Porzingis is available for Game 5 of the Finals as he attempts to play after suffering a torn medial retinaculum allowing dislocation of the posterior tibialis tendon in his left leg in Game 2.

Porzingis was also available in Game 4, but did not play. Before Game 4, Joe Mazzulla said Porzingis would only play in "specific instances, if necessary."

Before Game 5, Mazzulla said he "expects to see" Porzingis as he's made progress over the past three days.

Porzingis will not be on a minutes restriction.
