Otto Porter was gushing blood and had to exit the court during the third quarter of the Wizards’ playoff game against the Celtics on Tuesday night.
Porter was guarding Jae Crowder and then switched to defend Isaiah Thomas, who inadvertently hit him in the face.
Porter was seen cupping his hands below his nose after being popped in the face and was cleared off the court.

Washington’s Markieff Morris and Boston’s Thomas then exchanged words and were both hit with technical fouls.
Washington was leading 81-67 in the third quarter as they looked to even the second-round series at 1-1.
