Kristaps Porzingis shed his walking boot for slippers Friday at practice.
He won’t be playing against the 76ers on Saturday night, missing his ninth game of the season because of his newly sprained right ankle.
Porzingis also won’t be explaining the odd diagram he posted on Twitter late Thursday night, depicting a straight path with the words “Your plan” and then one with peaks and valleys with the word “Reality.”
In the locker room in Cleveland late Thursday, Porzingis was asked about the rocky path he has had this season — the losing, the Achilles tendinitis, the bouts with stomach illness.
