LOS ANGELES — Quentin Grimes had ascended to a regular rotation role and even a handful of starts before he suffered a knee injury last month. Jericho Sims has taken over the backup center spot since the All-Star break. But the Knicks third rookie, Miles McBride, is still waiting for a regular role — much to the vexation of the Knicks’ fan base.
McBride played nearly eight minutes Friday in the loss at Phoenix, the first time he played at least three minutes in a game since January 2 when the team was ravaged by injury and illness.
