Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis: Drops 20 on the Celtics

Porzingis (groin) scored 20 points (7-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and added three rebounds, three blocks, two steals and an assist across 23 minutes in Wednesday's 121-96 preseason win over the Celtics.

Analysis:

Porzingis exited the Knicks' previous game with the groin issue, but with three full days of rest in between contests, the big man was cleared to suit up Wednesday. Aside from an underwhelming rebound total, Porzingis didn't seem to be affected by the injury and should enter his second NBA season with no health concerns.
