X-rays came back negative on Kristaps Porzingins’ ankle after he awkwardly rolled it during Wednesday’s game.
While going for a ball in the corner along with Justise Winslow, Porzingis’ foot was stepped on by Winslow, causing Porzingis’ ankle to roll in what looked like gruesome fashion. Below is video of what happened.

Porzingis has had an impressive start to the season, averaging 27 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game. With Porzingis being the centerpiece of the Knicks and an integral part of their future, we should expect them to err on the side of caution with regards to Porzingis’ ankle.
