It was a long Veterans Day Weekend for coach David Fizdale and the Knicks.
It started Friday, with Kristaps Porzingis making Fizdale look bad with a salty Instagram post of him sprinting — after Fizdale had said he wasn’t planning on Porzingis’ return this season. The post created speculation there was friction between Fizdale and the temperamental Latvian star.
It grew worse with two blowout losses — Saturday in Toronto (excusable) and Sunday at the Garden against Orlando (inexcusable).
Also on Saturday, Jimmy Butler, who put the Knicks on his trade wish list, was shipped to rival Philadelphia, which didn’t give up a first-round pick.
