Kristaps Porzingis promises ‘nightmare’ coming to NBA

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are in Brooklyn. Kawhi Leonard is in Los Angeles. Kemba Walker is in Boston.

The summer went about as poorly as possible for the Knicks, but Kristaps Porzingis may have just delivered an even more painful dagger.

“I feel great physically. I feel 100 percent,” the Mavericks star told reporters on Monday. “I feel probably better than I ever have in my life.”

The 24-year-old, who was expected to be the face of the Knicks franchise for the next decade, is preparing for his first game since tearing his ACL in February 2018 fresh off signing a five-year, $158 million deal with Dallas, which acquired Porzingis in January’s trade with New York.
