New York • Without Kristaps Porzingis, there's no reason for the New York Knicks to be thinking about the postseason.
That's all that's left after Porzingis was lost to a torn ACL, ending his All-Star season and probably any hopes the Knicks had of making the playoffs.
They say they'll keep playing hard, but the first trade they made after Porzingis' injury showed they aren't loading up for a playoff push.
Porzingis had hoped they would fight all the way to the playoffs for the first time in his career. But those plans were derailed when Porzingis crashed to the court, punching the floor in pain after a dunk in the second quarter of a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night.
