As is tradition, playing time is dominating the conversation around the post-All-Star break New York Knicks. This happens every year so no one should be surprised.
Allonzo Trier, once an afterthought on this Knicks squad, is inserting himself back into the conversation. On Wednesday night against the Charlotte Hornets, Trier put up 15 points on 6-for-8 shooting to help the Knicks climb back into the game. Of course, it was yet another fake Knicks comeback, but Trier’s performance is notable.
For one, all 16 of his minutes came in the second half. The Knicks were having trouble scoring and that’s one thing Trier can do in his sleep.
