Kristaps Porzingis may not want to talk to team president Phil Jackson right now, but he still wants to remain a Knick.
Porzingis made a major statement when he blew off his exit meeting last week with Jackson and other team officials. But he told the New York Post Wednesday that he’s still committed to the Knicks.
“Of course,” Porzingis said. “I love New York. I love New York.”
Porzingis skipped his end-of-season interview Friday because of frustration over all the drama surrounding the team and the direction of the franchise.
The Knicks were expected to contend for a playoff spot, but they went 31-51, and their season was filled with controversy, trade rumors involving Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose and complaints about the triangle offense.
