A representative for Kristaps Porzingis says that the New York Knicks forward was sleeping when a tweet about the LA Clippers was published on his Twitter account and that the account was apparently hacked.
On Saturday evening, a tweet was published from Porzingis' account that read "LA Clippers" with three smiley-face emojis. The tweet was deleted almost immediately after it was published.
The social media post fueled speculation about Porzingis' future with the Knicks because of its timing. On Friday night, ESPN.com reported that several teams reached out to the Knicks to talk about possible trades for Porzingis in the days after he skipped his exit meeting with team president Phil Jackson and general manager Steve Mills.
Teams were inquiring about trading for Porzingis, 21, after he showed his frustration with the direction of the franchise by skipping the meeting.
Some connecting the dots from Porzingis' decision to skip the meeting and teams calling the Knicks about potential trades surmised that the Clippers tweet was a reference to a possible trade destination. That isn't the case, according to Porzingis' representative. Porzingis is on vacation in Europe.
"People like Charles and Larry Bird, and Magic, they must laugh their fannies off just thinking about it." After a road game in November, Spurs guard Patty Mills struggles to remember the ingredients of his custom juice, called "Bala 8" ("Bala" is a term in Mills' native language that means "brother" and "8" is his jersey number). "I've got a favorite one," Mills says, and then began to rattle off the ingredients.
"It's celery, ginger, parsley, green apple--" And that's when a Spurs staffer cuts him off, interjecting "lots of veggies and nutrients." The staffer taps lightly on a black duffel bag, saying: "It's in there right now, in the secret compartment." Popovich, whose team has been on the cutting edge of essentially every technological innovation, from training techniques to wearable high-tech devices, claims to find interest in juice to be hilarious -- and changes the topic with yarns from the old days.
