NY鈥檚 Porzingis out for season

New York Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis suffered a season-ending knee injury on Tuesday in his team鈥檚 89-103 defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks.

Porzingis fell to the court and clutched his left knee in agony as he landed after a dunk in the second quarter. He played no further part in the game and an MRI scan later confirmed he had torn ligaments in his left knee, the Knicks said.

The popular Latvian star was averaging just under 23 points per game this year, with 6.7 rebounds and 2.4 blocks. He had been due to play in the All-Star Game later this month for LeBron James鈥 team. James was among several players to send words of support to Porzingis after the injury.

鈥淲as hoping for the best news when I saw the play after the game,鈥 James wrote on Twitter. 鈥淏est wishes and have a speedy healthy recovery.鈥
