The New York Knicks opened the preseason on the road against the Washington Wizards, winning comfortably 104-99. With Dennis Smith Jr., Bobby Portis, and Damyean Dotson all sitting out with injuries, the Knicks fielded a smaller rotation that showcased glimpses of what fans were hoping the new-look team could bring to the table in this upcoming season.
The most exciting player on the floor was undoubtedly RJ Barrett, who started the game at the shooting guard position and ended up clocking the most minutes out of any player for the Knicks, finishing the game with 17 points, seven rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes of play.
