On Wednesday night, New York Knicks head coach David Fizdale will insert Kevin Knox and Emmanuel Mudiay into the starting lineup in place of Frank Ntilikina and Damyean Dotson per Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic.
If you are surprised and/or incensed by this move, R-E-L-A-X. Fizdale is going to tinker with his starting lineup and his rotations all season long. He is probing and prodding to find the right combinations and see what players fit in what roles. Most Knicks fans will cringe at seeing Mudiay in the starting lineup, but Knox’s first career start should mitigate some of their frustration.
