NEW YORK (CBS Sports) — It’s been another tough season at Madison Square Garden. Not only have the Knicksalready been eliminated from the postseason — making it five straight seasons in which they’ll miss the playoffs — but their star big man, Kristaps Porzingis, went down with a torn ACL.
Porzingis’ injury, as well as the general lack of talent on the Knicks roster has made things difficult for coach Jeff Hornacek. As the losses continue to pile up, Hornacek’s days in charge of the Knicks are reportedly numbered. According to the New York Times‘ Marc Stein, Hornacek is unlikely to make it to the end of his contract, which has one year remaining.
