The writing is on the bench, although it could be on the wall soon, for New York Knicks guards Courtney Lee and Jarrett Jack.
For most of the season, Lee and Jack were two of the top three Knicks when it came to minutes played. However, coach Jeff Hornacek told them last week that youngsters Emmanuel Mudiay, Frank Ntilikina, Trey Burke, and Tim Hardaway Jr., will get more playing time, according to Barbara Barker of Newsday.
“Obviously I would like to be on the court but I think they’re allowing some of these younger guys to get an opportunity to come in here and show where they’re at among the other guys in this league,” Jack said, per Chris Iseman of NorthJersey.
