On Tuesday night, the NBA was served another hit.
Knicks All-Star big man Kristaps Porzingis tore his ACL after landing awkwardly in the second quarter against the Bucks at home. Porzingis will miss the rest of the season and likely a big chunk of next season.
Porzingis and Wolves center Karl-Anthony Towns will forever be linked and probably compared. Towns and Porzingis were the No. 1 and No. 4 picks, respectively, in the 2015 NBA Draft. If there was a re-draft, Towns would go No. 1 and Porzingis would go No. 2.
While there probably is some sort of a rivalry, it’s a friendly one.
