Knicks fans booing Kristaps Porzingis made Willy Hernangomez ‘sad’

Hornets center Willy Hernangomez sounded upset at the vicious crowd reaction his former Knicks buddy Kristaps Porzingis got Thursday, indicating maybe they don’t have the full story.

“I think everybody can think what they want but I feel bad for KP,” said Hernangomez, the Knicks’ second-round pick in 2015. “He’s my brother. We spent too many nights in this amazing arena. I understand what people [do]. The people always treated me good when I was here and appreciated. But I was sad when I saw that.”

“Like KP’s comments after the game, they know what they know,” the amiable Spanish center added.
