New Knicks coach David Fizdale said he would connect with players and declared his main goals this offseason were building a strong relationship with Kristaps Porzingis and making him feel that he would be returning to a winning environment.
Fizdale appears to be off to a good start.
Porzingis, who is overseas training and rehabbing from a torn left ACL, tweeted that he’s “excited” after speaking to Fizdale Thursday.
“Just had a great conversation on the phone with Coach Fiz,” Porzingis tweeted.
