SAN FRANCISCO — Kristaps Porzingis will miss Tuesday night’s Knicks game against the Golden State Warriors with a left knee injury suffered on Monday in practice.
Coach Jeff Hornacek said Porzingis woke up sore on Tuesday with what the Knicks are calling “left knee irritation.” Hornacek said the injury happened when Porzingis was blocking a shot, but didn’t become an issue until Tuesday.
Porzingis is day-to-day. The Knicks play at Denver on Thursday and at Phoenix on Friday.
Porzingis is going to find out before Tuesday’s game if he has been voted as an Eastern Conference reserve for the NBA All-Star Game.
