Kevin Knox still has hurdle to clear before return to Knicks

WASHINGTON — Will prized rookie lottery pick Kevin Knox make his return Monday versus the Bulls?

That’s Knox’s hope, but coach David Fizdale said he is still unsure. The Knicks elected not to do a full-scale scrimmage for Saturday’s practice at Georgetown, forcing Knox to participate in a three-on-three contact session.

Fizdale said he prefers Knox do a five-on-five before letting him loose, but hasn’t ruled him out for Monday. Knox had said Saturday he’d be a “game-time decision” versus the Bulls.

“He’s not making any decisions,’’ Fizdale said before Sunday’s 108-95 loss to the Wizards.
