GREENBURGH, N.Y. – There’s been summer league and training camp and even an open practice at the Garden. Still there’s been no way to gauge what this Knicks team is going to be this season. That ends Monday in Washington when they play their first preseason game against the Wizards.
First-year coach David Fizdale said he’d be fine with more practices, but his players “are ready to go play against someone besides each other.”
“Training camp is one thing. Preseason is another. Then the real season starts and it’s a new world again,” said Mario Hezonja, the biggest free-agent acquisition in the club’s modest offseason.
