Knicks' Kristaps Porzingis: Out Thursday vs. Nets

Porzingis (thigh) will not play during Thursday's tilt against the Nets, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

As expected, Porzingis will sit out Thursday's game after not participating in Wednesday's practice due to a bruised thigh. Lance Thomas will likely absorb most of Porzingis' workload against the Nets, and could see additional run for a stretch of games moving forward. That being said, coach Jeff Hornacek indicated on Thursday that Porzingis will probably be healthy enough to play on their upcoming road trip.
