Point guard was a topic of conversation for the New York Knicks in training camp and the preseason. Trey Burke, Frank Ntilikina, Emmanuel Mudiay and even Ron Baker competed for minutes in these five warm-up games, but the job went to Burke.
Since then, Ntilikina has taken over the main distributor role, with the Michigan product as the backup and Baker in as the third-stringer.
There’s no Mudiay, however. Not because of a place outside the rotation, but an ankle injury. He’s probable to return for Monday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, according to Stefan Bondy of The New York Daily News.
