Running and jumping and shooting shots! Nice up-and-under, Melo! That's what the Knicks did this morning on their penultimate day of training camp. Once again, Kristaps Porzingis did not participate in the 5-on-5 stuff because everyone's still being extra cautious about his knee soreness from Wednesday. (It really, really sounds like this a totally minor injury not worth worrying about and the Knicks are just being overprotective parents of a rookie and Kristaps feels fine and is actually kinda annoyed they're not letting him ball.)
The Knicks have an evening session of non-contact stuff as well -- perhaps as we speak -- and it sounds like Kristaps will be a part of that.
Other things:
Arron Afflalo also sat out today.
Kristaps Porzingis (sore left knee) and Arron Afflalo (sore left hamstring) did not practice today.

The Knicks snatched another dude from OKC:
Told #Knicks are adding to staff, David Bliss, former OKC video coordinator. He will be a coaching associate. Is 6-10 and works with bigs.

Have a lovely Friday evening.
