Kristaps Porzingis said his official Twitter account was hacked and he never tweeted anything about the Los Angeles Clippers.
Porzingis was responding to a tweet from his account Saturday that caused a mini-firestorm. It said, “LA Clippers” and was accompanied by three smiley faces. It was quickly deleted.
“I was hacked last night and a post was made from my account,” Porzingis tweeted Sunday afternoon. “I have alerted Twitter and they are looking into the incident.”
Porzingis had already created a stir for the Knicks and their fans by blowing off his end-of-season exit interview with team president Phil Jackson and other team officials.
