MRI Reveals Torn ACL For Knicks’ All-Star Kristaps Porzingis

The New York Knicks took on the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night, and Kristaps Porzingis went down with a knee injury on a dunk on Bucks’ star Giannis Antetokounmpo. After initially needing help to the locker room and walking it off on his way out of the arena, an MRI has revealed that Porzingis has a torn ACL. Porzingis is already scheduling season-ending surgery on his torn ACL and will have a timeline for his return post-op. This will mark a very unfortunate end to what would’ve been his first year an NBA All-Star. In his third season in the league, Porzingis averaged 22.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 2.4 blocks per game.
