Here are the top five storylines to watch as the Knicks enter training camp:
1. When will “The Franchise” make his season debut?
President Steve Mills declined to put a timetable on Kristaps Porzingis’ return despite saying recently September’s tests would give the club a clearer idea. There’s still so many variables and progressions to still go through during training camp. Porzingis likely will do standing shooting drills during camp and may be cleared to run at some juncture late in preseason. The Knicks want him around, though, to bond with his teammates. David Fizdale wants him to be the team leader at some point.
