It took Allonzo Trier two-and-a-half weeks to recover from his first NBA injury. It took him 30 seconds to get a bucket once he was back on the floor.
Trier, who had been sidelined since Dec. 8 due to a strained left hamstring, returned to the lineup and scored eight points in the Knicks’ 109-95 Christmas matinee loss to the Bucks, starting with a fadeaway jumper on the second possession after he checked in during the first quarter. The rookie guard, nicknamed Iso Zo for his ability to generate solo offense, finished with eight points on 4-of-10 shooting from the field (0-of-2 from 3-point range) in 17 minutes.
