Kristaps Porzingis Says He May Need Elbow Procedure After Season
New York Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis missed Wednesday night's game against the Orlando Magic with a bruised elbow but he added that it may need treatment after the season. The team announced that Porzingis was unavailable with a sprained left ankle and a contused right elbow.
"When I hit it again, it just swells up and it's sensitive and I can't stretch my arm,'' Porzingis told reporters. "It bothers me a little bit, but not that bad. It's always, I have to get the swelling down and then I'll be fine again. But I think once the season's over, I might have to do something about it. I just can't keep going like this every year."

The Knicks will host the Sacramento Kings on Saturday at 8 p.m.
