The New York Knicks have a problem at point guard, and that was a reality before the regular season even began last week. Just 12 minutes into his first NBA game, rookie guard Immanuel Quickley suffered a hip pointer injury that will keep them out for a couple of days. His momentum during the preseason inspired the Knicks and gave them a true threat from a spot that has been lackluster in recent years.
If not for an elite performance by Elfrid Payton against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday evening, there would be little to no help regarding the point guard spot this year.
