Report: NYPD Investigating Rape Claim Made Against Former Knicks Star Kristaps Porzingis

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – According to a new report, the NYPD is investigating a woman’s claim that she was raped by NBA star Kristaps Porzingis while he was with the New York Knicks in 2018.

The New York Post reports that a woman in her 20s has told police that the former Knick held her down and forced himself on her after the woman accepted an invitation to the athlete’s penthouse in Midtown West.

The incident allegedly occurred on Feb. 7, 2018 – just hours after the 7-foot-3 Latvian suffered a devastating ACL tear in his left knee at Madison Square Garden.
