HOUSTON — You would think that in the course of compiling a 15-63 record over the first 78 games of the season the Knicks would have hit rock bottom. But as they worked out Friday morning, rock bottom seemed like just a stopping point on the way to a gaping abyss.
Emmanuel Mudiay was ruled out with a sore left shoulder, joining Dennis Smith Jr., Frank Ntilikina, Kadeem Allen and Allonzo Trier on the sidelines. That left just Billy Garrett, who was called up from the G League Tuesday, and his 12 minutes of NBA experience, as the lone point guard on the roster.
