Kristaps Porzingis: There's 'no protocol for a 7-3 guy' rehabbing ACL tear

New York Knicks All-Star Kristaps Porzingis says he's taken a conservative approach in his rehabilitation from ACL surgery, in part because no player Porzingis' height has dealt with the same injury.

"We've done things differently because there is no protocol for a 7-3 guy. There is no timetable for my type of body, my size and all that," Porzingis said at the Knicks' media day on Monday. "We've done things differently, very conservative and at the same time (I've been) killing myself working. We're just going to have to keep moving forward, keep progressing and see when is the right time for me to be back.
