The New York Knicks could be in line to receive the biggest (literally) NBA gift during the holiday season. According to Marc Berman of the New York Post, there’s a possibility that unicorn big man Kristaps Porzingis will finally make his return to action in December.

The Knicks will have a better idea of a Porzingis timetable in September — which will be seven months since February’s surgery. Sources have indicated there’s still a chance of Porzingis being back around Christmas.

The Latvian power forward/center appeared in only 48 games last season due to some injuries, none more devastating than the ACL tear in his left knee he suffered several before the All-Star break, which required surgery and forced him to miss the rest of the 2017-18 campaign.

While there is no definite date of when Porzingis can play with the Knicks again, the team is apparently optimistic that the 7-foot-3 big man could do that before the year ends.

The Knicks are not expected to contend for a title yet next season, so it’s only wise for them not to rush Porzingis back. That being said, Porzingis is set to become a restricted free agent at the end of the next season unless he and the Knicks could agree to an extension deal this summer. Porzingis, who was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, is eligible to receive a five-year extension deal worth $158 million, but such an offer could only be signed before the 2018-19 season comes around.
