Kristaps Porzingis was everywhere last night and had the crowd cheering. But he was taken out of the game after suffering a soft tissue injury in his neck.
The first quarter showed basketball fans everywhere that the Knicks are starting to come out of the woodworks and may be actual contenders this year. Along with others, Porzingis was a highlight after he had the crowd going wild during the third quarter. He may be the aggressive player the Knicks need.
After a scary collision with Carmelo Anthony, he was taken out of the game. From the looks of it, Porzingis was going deep in the pocket and was trying to get the ball back. Take a look at it in case you missed it.
