On Thursday, New York Knicks fans had to endure the news that Kristaps Porzingis was progressing slowly in his return from ACL surgery. The Knicks head coach, David Fizdale, downplayed Porzingis’ rehab progress. He said that KP wasn’t past the point of light running and he even hinted at the notion that Porzingis would not return this season.
“That’s somewhere else. I don’t want to get distracted personally as the coach, worried about if and when he’s coming back. I’d rather be focused on the day-to-day task with these guys, and when he gets back, that’ll just be a gift for me,” Fizdale told Marc Berman of the New York Post.
