GREENBURGH, N.Y. – One day after making pessimistic comments about Kristaps Porzingis’ rehab schedule, David Fizdale walked them back on Friday. You might even say the Knicks coach sprinted them back.
On Thursday, Fizdale had said Porzingis was doing some “light running,” but added: “Sprinting – he’s not at that level yet.”
Later Thursday, Porzingis posted two photos on Instagram that showed him sprinting on a track, along with another photo of a UFC fighter that was captioned with a profane phrase that indicated someone wasn’t telling the truth.
On Friday, Fizdale said he spoke to Porzingis to clear things up.
