Willy Hernangomez replaces Porzingis as Knicks’ injury worry

The Knicks figure to welcome Kristaps Porzingis back to active duty Wednesday in Orlando.

So naturally they plan to be without center Willy Hernangomez. Apparently there is a ban on too much happy news for the Knicks.

While Porzingis practiced Tuesday in Tarrytown after missing two games with a sprained right ankle, Hernangomez sat out the workout, also the victim of a sprained ankle.

“I twisted my ankle [Monday]. I stepped on DeMar DeRozan,” Hernangomez said.

As for Porzingis, he said he felt good during the workout, though while warming up, “It was still a little stiff,” but that subsided with activity.
