During much of the offseason, it was a constant circus for the New York Knicks that partly centered around forward Kristaps Porzingis' standing with the organization.
This came into further question after a tweet was sent out from his account that seemed to hint at him wanting to possibly join the L.A. Clippers. It didn't take long for Porzingis to refute that he didn't it put out and that he was hacked.
The 22-year-old once again talked about the situation stating that he still doesn't have any clarity as to what exactly transpired to that happening, according to Fred Kerber of the New York Post.
“I had no idea. I wish I had the answer. I was in Barcelona at that moment and one of my friends was like, ‘Yo, did you just tweet that?’” Porzingis said. “I was like, ‘It’s fake.’ Then, ‘Hold up, let me check on Twitter for sure. I checked Twitter and nothing was on Twitter because it was already deleted. Then I put in search, Porzingis, and that’s when everything showed up. I had no idea at all. I had both phones with me. Still until this day it’s a mystery what that was.”
It's hard to truly gauge if that is indeed the case, but the timing of it all made it quite puzzling to see him tweet that out. This came not long after he decided to skip out on the exit interview with the front office led by then-team president Phil Jackson.
It was a situation that played itself out with the Knicks deciding to go in another direction with their front office and center the team around Porzingis. Ultimately, it's something that will likely never truly get full clarity as to how it all went down.
