Kristaps Porzingis understands that some people are skeptical about the NBA’s new in-season tournament that is scheduled to tip off this weekend.
The concept has been used in other sports leagues but is new to the NBA.
Porzingis says he’s in favor of the idea. He explained why at practice on Thursday.
“I love it. In Europe, we always have some sort of tournament in preseason or during the year,” Porzingis said. “When I was growing up, I always enjoyed those kind of tournaments. It kind of just put more of a spotlight on something that’s midseason and stuff like that.
