CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kristaps Porzingis realized he would shrink to nothing if he didn’t take the Knicks’ new dietitian’s advice and inhale a grand-style breakfast.
While the rail-thin Knicks 7-foot-3 rookie added 11 pounds from the end of July’s summer league to the start of training camp, Porzingis started to gradually drop weight as the regular season rolled on and his minutes increased.
After going from 227 to 238 pounds over the summer, Porzingis dropped to 233 by December.
“Now I’m maintaining it,’’ Porzingis told The Post on Saturday.
