GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- New York Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis said late Tuesday night that he's ready to attack the lengthy rehab ahead in the wake of his season-ending ACL tear.
"He was down when he first got the news but then he instantly switched to 'I've got to take on this new journey. I'm ready for it,'" teammate Courtney Lee said after speaking to Porzingis late on Tuesday.
Porzingis suffered the ACL tear on Tuesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks when he landed awkwardly after converting a dunk. He will have surgery to repair the injury in the coming days, though it hasn't been scheduled yet.
