Team LeBron James might be down another All Star after Kristaps Porzingis went down with an apparent left knee injury during tonight’s game against the Bucks. As you can see below, the injury occurred immediately after Kristaps dunked over Giannis Antetokounmpo:

Additional angles from the MSG Network broadcast show Kristaps awkwardly landed on Giannis’ foot. He had to be helped off the court by a couple of teammates:

Update: Knicks PR says it’s a torn left ACL for Kristaps… brutal.
Medical Update: An MRI confirmed that Kristaps Porzingis tore the ACL in his left knee.

Is it fair to question whether the Team LeBron curse is a legitimate thing? Kristaps is now the fourth player (DeMarcus Cousins, John Wall, Kevin Love) to suffer an injury since the All-Star teams were revealed.

Healthy players on LeBron’s team who need to watch themselves until the break:
– Kevin Durant
– Anthony Davis
– LaMarcus Aldridge
– Kyrie Irving
– Bradley Beal
– Victor Oladipo
– Russell Westbrook
– Goran Dragic
– Paul George
Basically you’re worrying a little if you support the Warriors or Thunder.
