There is still no timetable for a return to game action, but the 7-foot-3 All-Star will be re-evaluated again in mid-February.
"We feel good about the progress but we're still a ways away," Knicks president Steve Mills told reporters Friday afternoon.
Porzingis suffered the torn ACL on February 6. Following the injury, reports indicated that the 23-year-old was expected to be sidelined for at least 10 months.
