On Tuesday, the Boston Celtics revealed that Kristaps Porzingis will undergo surgery to fix the issue.
Porzingis’ injury is a torn retinaculum and dislocated posterior tibialis, which is considered specific.
Porzingis had initially attempted to postpone surgery until after both the NBA Finals and Latvia’s Olympic games.
According to USA Today NBA reporter Jeff Zillgitt, Porzingis will not be representing Latvia (his home country) in the upcoming games.
The Celtics did not disclose the timing of the surgery, simply stating that it will be conducted in the near future.
