Porzingis exits with left leg injury
New York Knicks forward Kristaps Porzingis had to be helped off the court after appearing to injure his left lower leg on Tuesday night in a matchup with the visiting Milwaukee Bucks at Madison Square Garden.
With 8:46 left in the second quarter, Porzingis was fouled by Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo while attempting to dunk, and the Knicks' leading scorer came down on Antetokounmpo's foot as he landed. Porzingis collapsed to the floor clutching his left leg and was on the ground for several minutes.
New York, which entered the game a season-worst eight games under .500 after losing three straight, was leading 31-30 at the time of injury. Porzingis was off to a great start in the game, scoring 10 points after hitting four of his first five shots.
Porzingis, 22, entered the night averaging 22.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.4 blocked shots per game.
