Porzingis is going into his second year as a member of the franchise.

He is already a fan-favorite and finished last year with averages of 20.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.9 blocks per contest while shooting 51.6% from the field and 37.5% from the three-point range in 57 games.

Following the Knicks, the Celtics will travel to Washington, D.C. for a showdown with Kyle Kuzma and the Wizards on Thursday evening.

Last season, they won their first NBA Championship in 16 years when they beat the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
