Kevin Knox’s breakout game could be enough for promotion

David Fizdale might be shaking up his starting lineup again. He’s at least considering it, after the Knicks absorbed back-to-back blowouts losses over the weekend, and prized rookie Kevin Knox could be elevated.

Fizdale wasn’t ready to reveal exactly what the changes to his starting five could be, but he did say it’s “a possibility” the first-round pick will start his first NBA game after scoring 17 points in Sunday’s ugly loss to the Magic. Knox was slated to start at small forward on opening night, but after a shaky preseason, Fizdale opted for Frank Ntilikina instead.

“We’re going to look at some more stuff, me and the staff, as we get on the plane,” he said.
