Latvian forward Kristaps Porzingis missed his fourth NBA match this season due to a sore left Achilles as his New York Knicks beat the Chicago Bulls 104:89 (24:22, 30:29, 22:14, 28:24) in New York last night.

"[Porzingis] woke up today and said it was really sore," Knicks head coach Jeff Hornacek said before the game yesterday. He could not say how long Porzingis would be sidelined this time.
