MILWAUKEE — Kristaps Porzingis is saving his boasts for All-Star Saturday.
After deciding to return to the All-Star Skills challenge, Porzingis believes he’s got a great shot at defending his 2017 crown in Los Angeles. Of course, Joel Embiid may have something to say about that.
“I have to protect my title, I have to be back-to-back skills champion,’’ Porzingis said with a smile on his face. “That’s the goal for me. It was a lot of fun [last year]. The whole thing — the rookie game and skills challenge. I had a great time.
