Emmanuel Mudiay will start at point guard for the New York Knicks on Thursday night as the club begins to increase playing time for its younger players.
Jeff Hornacek told reporters on Thursday that Mudiay would start in place of veteran point guard Jarrett Jack, who has started 56 games at point guard for New York.
With the Knicks (23-36) out of playoff contention and Kristaps Porzingis sidelined following ACL surgery, the club will use its final 23 games to evaluate younger players.
