The New York Knicks have been hit hard by injuries this season, with several key players missing significant time.
The most notable absence has been that of All-Star forward Kristaps Porzingis, who has been sidelined since February with a torn ACL.
Porzingis is the Knicks' leading scorer and rebounder, and his absence has been a major blow to the team's playoff hopes.
Other injured Knicks include: Tim Hardaway Jr. (knee), Enes Kanter (ankle), and Frank Ntilikina (groin).
The Knicks have struggled to win without their injured players, and they are currently in danger of missing the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season.
The team is hoping that Porzingis will be able to return next season, but his injury is a major setback for the Knicks' long-term plans.
In the meantime, the Knicks will need to find a way to win without their injured stars.
They will need to get more production from their bench players, and they will need to be more consistent on the defensive end of the court.
If the Knicks can do those things, they may still be able to make the playoffs this season.
But even if they don't, the future is still bright for the Knicks.
Porzingis is still just 22 years old, and he is one of the most talented players in the NBA.
With Porzingis leading the way, the Knicks have the potential to be a championship contender in the years to come.
