The All-Star forward was traded to the Mavericks on Thursday in a surprising deal that sent Dennis Smith Jr, Wesley Matthews, DeAndre Jordan and two future first-round picks to New York. Dallas also got Courtney Lee, Tim Hardaway Jr and Trey Burke in the deal.
Porzingis will reportedly not play this season as he continues recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament tear he suffered a year ago.
The Latvian will have his introductory news conference in Dallas on Monday but issued a short statement to his former followers in New York on Instagram.
“The city deserves better than that … My suggestion for Knicks fans is to STAY WOKE!! Peace,” Porzingis wrote on his Instagram account.
