Kristaps Porzingis was traded to the Mavericks on Thursday. Here’s a look back at the key moments of his Knicks career:
June 25, 2015: Porzingis is selected by the Knicks with the fourth overall pick in the NBA draft, leading fans inside Barclays Center to boo the largely unknown 19-year-old from Latvia.
Nov. 21, 2015: Scores 24 points with 14 rebounds and seven blocks, becoming the first 20-year-old to post such a stat line since Shaquille O’Neal.
April 2017: Following a second straight losing season, the 7-foot-3 forward blows off team exit meetings with then-team president Phil Jackson, coach Jeff Hornacek and Knicks management, with the young star reportedly frustrated with the team’s direction.
