New York Knicks prized rookie Kristaps Porzingis tweaked his IT band during Wednesday night’s session of training camp. Porzingis sustained the injury during a non-contact 5-on-0 drill.
Medicine Net definition of the iliotibial band: is a ligament that runs along the outside of the thigh — from the top of the hip to the outside of the knee. It stabilizes the knee and hip during running, but when it thickens and rubs over the bone, the area can become inflamed or the band itself may become irritated — causing pain.
