Porzingis’ Knicks summer-league status up in the air

Latvian rookie Kristaps Porzingis still hasn’t decided if he will play for the Knicks summer league, according to multiple sources. The 7-foot-3 Porzingis, coming off a rugged Spanish League season with Sevilla, had been nursing hip tightness entering the NBA draft — an injury that cut short his pre-draft workout with the Knicks.

Porzingis said before the draft the injury was “nothing serious,’’ but after he was selected No. 4 by the Knicks, his brother went on radio to say his summer-league status was an unknown. The Knicks said a day later they still expected him to play, but with the team debuting Saturday in Las Vegas, it is still being decided.
