The Warriors will make their annual visit to the Garden on Monday night, but it won’t quite be the same for Kevin Durant without Kristaps Porzingis in a Knicks jersey.

Porzingis is out for the season after suffering a torn ACL in his left knee Feb. 6.

“It’s disappointing he got injured,” Durant said Sunday after the Warriors held a light practice at the New York Athletic Club. “He had a great season up to that point and was an All-Star. He’d been playing great.”

It was Durant who inadvertently gave Porzingis the nickname “unicorn,” when complimenting the 7-foot-3 baller from Latvia.
