Knicks rookie center Marshall Plumlee had visions of how his NBA debut would come about, but could never have imagined this, arriving midway through the first quarter after a harried commute and dash through the streets of Manhattan.
“It was crazy,’’ Plumlee said. “I feel I could write a book about it.’’
It started with a 10 a.m. emergency phone call from a Knicks official to his Westchester apartment, telling him center Joakim Noah was sent home sick, and the club needed him for the noon game against the Hawks. Plumlee had been assigned to the D-League and played his second game for Westchester on Saturday night.
