New York Knicks All-Star forward Kristaps Porzingis has suffered a torn ACL. The Latvian big man went down with a knee injury and eventually had to be helped off the court. Porzingis went up for a right-handed slam as Giannis Antetokounmpo went for the block. KP put the dunk down but his left leg buckled as he landed. He collapsed on the court and immediately grabbed the back of his knee.

A better look:

Nothing graphic, but an awkward landing for sure.

Get well soon, Kristaps. pic.twitter.com/uLNrAoRpFM
