Kevin Knox and family always honor Veterans Day

TORONTO — While some coaches treat a game as if it's going to war, Kevin Knox is well aware of the difference between the game and the real thing as he prepares for Sunday night’s game at Madison Square Garden against the Magic.

For most of his life on Veterans Day, Knox spent time with family as they honored his close ties with the military. His grandfather, Levi Knox, spent 26 years in the Air Force and would gather the family together. But there is one family member, Kevin Knox’s uncle, Major Raymond G. Estelle II, who won’t be there.
