One strange turn for the Knicks in Friday night's 101-95 loss to Philadelphia was that Kevin Knox continued to slide down the depth chart.
After sitting out the second half of two of the previous four games (the only exceptions were when Barrett did not play and when the Knicks emptied the bench in a blowout loss in Toronto), Knox took a complete DNP-coaches decision for the first time in his career.
