Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis: Bruises thigh Tuesday

Porzingis won't return to Tuesday's game against the Pacers due to a bruised left thigh.

Analysis:

The big man tallied 11 points (5-17 FG, 1-6 3PT), three rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal across 25 minutes prior to exiting the game. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time, but his next chance to play will come Thursday against the Nets. Lance Thomas and Mindaugas Kuzminskas would likely see their roles increase if Porzingis if forced to miss time.
