Kristaps Porzingis Is Ready For His Madison Square Garden Return

Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports

For two-and-a-half seasons, Knicks fans heard Kristaps Porzingis express a lot of feelings.

On Wednesday, they heard a new one.

Pity.

“I remember when I was there, the expectation was always high for us,” Porzingis told reporters from the NBPA practice floor in midtown Manhattan. “It’s a city hungry for success in basketball. For them, and for the fans, and for the city to be going through this year after year, it’s got to be tough.”

Ugh.

Porzingis will make his return to Madison Square Garden on Thursday.
