Save us, Santa! Kristaps Porzingis left Thursday night’s contest with the Orlando Magic after hurting his knee on a drive to the basket:

It originally looked to be the dreaded non-contact injury, but upon closer look he banged knees with a Magic defender. He immediately collapsed to the floor, taking at least 6 years off all of our lives.
Kristaps quickly checked out and went straight to the locker room. Fortunately, he came back out soon after, rode the exercise bike for a few minutes and took a seat on the bench. He was available to return if the Knicks needed him ....
Kristaps Porzingis is available to return.

... which they didn’t! Don’t scare us like that, Kristaps.
