The opening night starting lineup for the New York Knicks will probably not come to fruition until the Oct. 23 game against the San Antonio Spurs nears.

The Knicks changed their starting lineup after just five games to highlight the team’s younger players as part of a “developmental” season. It was the first of multiple times that head coach David Fizdale shuffled the deck without injury as a cause.
That group of five did not last for long, but what happened to them afterward?
