New York Knicks star forward Kristaps Porzingis is questionable tonight against the Orlando Magic with a sprained left ankle and a contused right elbow, according to ESPN's Ian Begley.

This comes after a heroic performance against the Charlotte Hornets, dropping 28 points, including a game-tying three-pointer with 1:45 left in the game, leading his Knicks to a third straight win for the second time this season.

The Knicks have now won six of their last seven games en route to an unforeseen 6-4 start to the season with Porzingis now the second-best scorer in the league with 30 points per game, right below forward Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks.

The 7-foot-3 stretch four has logged double-digit field goals made in eight of his ten appearances with the team, showing an incredible variety of scores from all over the floor.

In case of his absence, head coach Jeff Hornacek will be forced to go with a combo of Michael Beasley and Doug McDermott at the four, as Enes Kanter and Tim Hardaway Jr. are tasked to carry the majority of the scoring load against a potent Magic team.

Porzingis has also led the way in shot-blocking, which will open opportunities for Kyle O'Quinn to get some playing time for defensive purposes.
