BOSTON — Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is available to play in Game 2 of Boston’s semifinal matchup with the Knicks.

Porzingis, who didn’t play in the second half of Boston’s loss in Game 1 on Monday because of an illness, was upgraded from probable to available about a half-hour before Wednesday night’s game. Reserve Sam Hauser will not play after spraining his ankle in the series opener.

Porzingis was 0-for-4 in 13 minutes of the first half in Game 1, with four rebounds and an assist. Hauser missed both of his shots in four minutes of action.

Coach said Porzingis has ongoing effects from an illness that sidelined him for a stretch of games late during the regular season.
