Kristaps Porzingis Will Return 'Better Than Ever' from Knee Injury, Doctor Says

The notification I received said he could be ready for the opener but the article says they’re aiming for the opener, so that’s my fault.

might mean nothing to a lot of people....but for a 19 year old to be THIS good at the defensive end of the floor is great. defense is the hardest adjustment for guards in the nba.
shows he'll be elite at that end of the court with high iq....his offense will come along.
a possibly 6'7 point guard that can switch onto big men seamlessly is nothing to scoff at.
edit: full video

He's statistically the best guard in the league at guarding the PnR.

Ah, ok. Man, I hope he doesn't rush back to quickly. Better to be cautious, take things slow. Coming back from a major injury too soon has fukked up a lot of athletes careers, I don't want KP to be added to that list

That's the quickest acl tear I've heard for a bigShould hold him out to get this tank rolling one more time and cause we have no idea what this team is going to look like

Word, take things slow. Feel like any return prior to January of next year is a bit too hasty.

Next season we get a head start on the tank Let's put it to good use

Frank with that Rambis defensive development.

 

[Wargames]

I know we don't need another PG/SG but matching him with Frank could be a scary Back Court

It KP's personal trainer with a PhD that's talking about start of the season not the knee doctor or the Knicks, same guy that was with him in Latvia during the offseason.

Since Porzingis underwent ACL surgery in mid-February, the 7-foot-3 Latvian has headed to Colker’s Greenwich, Conn., facility three times a week (Porzingis does ACL rehab at the Knicks-affiliated Hospital of Special Surgery in Manhattan).

Colker works independently of the Knicks, but keeps in contact with their knee specialists.

“My speciality is power — physical power and base and connection to power,’’ said Colker, whose former clients include Shaquille O’Neal, Allan Houston and Andre Agassi.

Colker is part of an aggressive faction regarding ACL timetables. While the Knicks likely won’t let Porzingis play until around Christmas (the 10-month mark) at the earliest, Colker says he’ll have him ready for opening night.

Knicks brass is aware of Porzingis’ relationship with Colker. Porzingis and Colker met late last season to take care of a recurring shoulder ailment. Colker implemented an offseason conditioning plan and visited Porzingis in Latvia for two weeks over the summer.

In November, Porzingis said Colker’s “techniques are different and you’re never going to leave after seeing him without being exhausted in some part of your body. He really understands how the body works. I gained so much trust in him.’’

Asked about a timetable, Colker said: “Ultimately, the folks at the Knicks have to decide when they want to let him back. As far as I’m concerned, he’s going to be ready to play for the beginning of next season.

“There’s a famous quote from Buzz Aldrin,’’ Colker said. “A press guy asked: ‘What are you going to do if the engine doesn’t work?’ He looked puzzled. ‘Then I’m going to work on the engine.’ We view this as an opportunity to improve other elements of the game. We’re off and running, improving stuff already.

I stand corrected Keep him away until late in the season and then let him come back to limited minutes to get the dust off

KP surrounds himself with some weird people it seems. the guy comes off as a quack, I don't trust that diagnosis a bit.

Breh, I thought the same fukking thing.

Not only that, he REALLY seems like he's selling himself.

He's probably thinking, "if I could get this kid on the court on opening day...my fame is set in stone.

 

[Wargames]

KP is from Eastern Europe so shady and questionable healthcare probably seems normal to him
