After missing Games 3 and 4, Porzingis played 16 minutes in the Boston Celtics&#8217; decisive 106-88 victory over the Dallas Mavericks, scoring 5 points. This helped the Celtics claim their record-setting 18th NBA championship.<\/p>\n<p>Porzingis told ESPN: &#8220;I wanted to give everything I could and then fix the injury afterward if necessary. I prepared myself as best as I could to be on the court, and the medical staff&#8217;s support was incredible. It feels great to be a champion.&#8221; Despite the risks associated with his injury, he stated: &#8220;I don&#8217;t care. I will fix it. This is the most important thing, and after the healing process, it will be totally worth it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&#8220;Somehow I got it going for this game.
