GREENBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — Kristaps Porzingis is a one-of-a-kind player, a 7-foot-3 package strong enough to pound in the paint but with plenty of speed and shooting to play on the perimeter.
That’s ideal for the basketball court.
Not so much for rehabbing a serious knee injury.
Porzingis said Monday his size has necessitated a slow recovery from a torn left ACL and prevents him or the New York Knicks from establishing a timetable for his return to action.
“We’ve done things differently because there is no protocol for a 7-3 guy,” Porzingis said.
