INDIANAPOLIS — The Knicks latest lineup change lasted one game, 26 minutes to be precise, before Nerlens Noel was sidelined again Wednesday.
Noel was inserted in the starting lineup Tuesday in San Antonio. But he was a game-time decision Wednesday with a sore lower back and after testing it on the court at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, he was ruled out.
Taj Gibson stepped into the starting lineup, leaving Mitchell Robinson with the second unit.
