Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis exits game with knee soreness: Hopefully it's not too serious
The Knicks star will undergo more tests on Friday
Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis left the game against the Nets in the third quarter with a knee soreness.
Per ESPN, Porzingis says he doesn't believe the knee injury is serious but added that he wouldn't know anything definitive until undergoing further testing Friday.
"I felt my knee buckle a little bit and I felt a little pain there. So it's more about being cautious," Porzingis said. "I had a little shock pain there and that's it. I honestly don't have any information about what's going on there, but hopefully it's not too serious."
Porzingis initially twisted his left knee in the first half when he received the ball in the post. He played through some discomfort later in the half but said he felt instability in the knee in the third quarter, so he removed himself from the game.
"I just ran up and down a few times and I felt it wasn't right," he said. "... I felt that I don't have the strength that I want to have. It just didn't feel right."
