Through the first 10 games of the season, New York Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis has been unstoppable. He became the first player in team history to eclipse 300 points over the first 10 games and is as red hot as anyone in the league.
Ahead of Wednesday night’s game, Magic coach Frank Vogel even acknowledged that his team has “no real answer” for Porzingis’ dominance.
“I don’t really have the answer for ‘The Unicorn,'” Vogel said via the New York Daily News. “He’s a one of a kind and we’re going to do the best we can. He’s something else.”
Unfortunately for the Knicks, Porzingis isn’t superhuman. And while the Magic may admit they’re incapable of slowing him down, untimely injuries may.
The Knicks announced on Wednesday that Porzingis is questionable for their game against Orlando due to both an ankle and elbow injury.

Porzingis scored 28 points, including a go-ahead three-pointer in the fourth quarter and the game-sealing layup with seconds remaining, in a 118-113 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night. He has led the Knicks to six wins in their last seven games, and a 6-4 overall record.
