The injury looked bad for Porzingis when it happened during the first quarter of the Knicks’ win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. After the game, Porzingis said he felt his ankle “touching the floor” when it happened.
Porzingis has been dominant for New York this season with averages of 25.4 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.9 blocks.
The Knicks and Porzingis will benefit from a long break before they return to the floor against the Orlando Magic on Sunday.
