It takes a lot to make Knicks coach David Fizdale speechless, but when he was asked for his reaction to Kristaps Porzingis claim in his news conference in Dallas Monday that the plan was never for him to play this season, Fizdale went silent.
“I don’t have any comment on that,” Fizdale said.
Fizdale had worked hard to create a positive environment for Porzingis, traveling to Latvia with his wife in the summer and spending time with Porzingis and his family. But when Fizdale misspoke on how far Porzingis was in his rehab earlier this season, stating that Porzingis had yet to start sprinting, Porzingis went to Instagram and answered back with a video of him on a track and added a harsh reply.
