    Kristaps Porzingis is on track for a mid-February reassessment of his ACL recovery, but the Knicks don’t know if he’ll play at all this season.

    “No, we don’t know yet,” Knicks President Steve Mills told Alan Hahn of the MSG Network Friday night. “Kristaps has made good progress from a medical perspective. The MRI was a good MRI. Physically, he was examined by the doctors….And he’s making good progress so we feel good that he’s making steps.”

    The 7-foot-3 Porzingis tore his left ACL on Feb. 6, so this Feburary will mark one year since the injury. Mills said he saw Porzingis on Thursday doing three-quarter court sprints, along with dunks and 3-point shots.

    “He’s advanced to doing some work on the court with our coaching staff and we’ll do another series of tests sometime in mid-February,” Mills said.

    Zion Williamson has never played a game at Madison Square Garden.

    In fact, none of Duke’s heralded freshmen — Williamson, R.J. Barrett or Cam Reddish — has ever played at the World’s Most Famous Arena.

    But that will change on Thursday night when No. 2 Duke and Zion Mania meet No. 12 Texas Tech at the Garden (7 p.m., ESPN2).

    Fans at the game and those watching on TV will be waiting with baited breath for Williamson’s next set of highlight dunks and blocks.

    “There has never been anyone like Zion at any level,” ESPN’s Jay Bilas told The New York Times this week. “There has never been anyone of his size who can move like him.”

    The latest example of that came Tuesday night when the 6-foot-7, 285-pound Williamson and his 45-inch vertical leap elevated for this block against Princeton and hit his head on the backboard.

    NEW YORK — Kevin Knox’s parents visited with Kentucky coach John Calipari on Friday night at the Kentucky team hotel, and Calipari had some words of wisdom for them.

    With Knox going through the trials and tribulations of being an NBA rookie, Calipari told them to get used to it — and embrace it.

    “This is a great experience for him going through the ups and downs of this during  your rookie year and get an idea of how hard this is,” Calipari said he told the parents after I asked him about Knox following Kentucky’s 84-83 loss to Seton Hall Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden.

    The 6-foot-9 Knox sat courtside for the instant classic, as did Yankees GM Brian Cashman and former Seton Hall stars Terry Dehere and Jerry Walker.
