The spurned New York fans were ready for Porzingis, of course, booing the former hometown All-Star before and throughout the Knicks’ 100-97 victory.
Kristaps Porzingis was back at the Garden on Friday night for the first time this season, returning with his new team, the Wizards, following a trade deadline deal from Dallas.
“It’s in the past now. I love the city. I miss this city a lot. I miss a lot of people here. Yeah, it is what it is, but I really enjoyed my time here and I only have good memories from this place.” The oft-injured former Knicks lottery pick missed the Mavericks’ lone visit to New York in January after testing positive for COVID-19, and he was shipped back to the Eastern Conference in the deal that sent Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans to Dallas.
While Dinwiddie won a game for the Mavericks earlier this week with a buzzer-beater against the Nets, the 26-year-old Porzingis has averaged 19.5 points per game on 49.3 percent shooting over six appearances since the trade.
