Next up on Phil Jackson’s fire sale to-do list may be Pablo Prigioni.

The Pistons reportedly showed interest in the Knicks point guard, and after Brandon Jennings went down Saturday night with an injury believed to be season-ending, that interest may become more than theoretical.

The floundering, tanking, abysmal Knicks hopes for this season already have faded into visions of Jahlil Okafor — the early list of goners consists of J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert and Samuel Dalembert — and according to ESPN, Detroit may be a newly compatible fit for the 37-year-old Prigioni.

“He’s worth something,’’ one person familiar with the situation said in Saturday’s editions of The Post.

Prigioni also can be added to a larger, multi-team trade as the Knicks attempt to use the two trade exceptions gained from unloading Smith and Shumpert.

While the Pistons haven’t commented on Jennings’ condition, the star who’s flourished since Josh Smith was cut sent two ominous tweets Sunday that seem to indicate the timetable for his return.

Saturday night, Jennings had to be helped to the locker room late in the third quarter against the Bucks, and according to Yahoo Sports, the team fears a torn Achilles.

Jennings fell to the floor while planting on his left leg while guarding an inbounds pass. He immediately clutched the leg above his sneakers while writhing on the floor in pain.
