New York Knicks: David Fizdale clarifies Kristaps Porzingis’ progress

Thursday was a confusing day for the New York Knicks. First, David Fizdale spoke about Kristaps Porzingis’ rehab process, mentioning that KP had not yet begun sprinting. Hours later, Porzingis posted photos of himself sprinting, directly contradicting Fizdale’s comments from earlier.

There was a clear disconnect between coach and star player — one that caused fans to pause. But on Friday, the miscommunication was resolved with haste.

David Fizdale said he was mistaken yesterday to say Porzingis has not started sprinting, was unaware that the forward was sprinting on his own at a nearby track.
