NEW YORK – The playing time for Denzel Valentine was fairly limited on Saturday.
Just over 10 minutes of work, despite a solid eight points in a third-quarter flurry against the Knicks.
Partially because he was coming back from a hamstring injury that forced him on the shelf since Feb. 2, but mostly because it’s Valentine.
The same Valentine that was once a lottery pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, and now the same Valentine who could be 22 games away from no longer being part of the only team he’s ever played for at this level.
