The New York Knicks (46-33) hosted a depleted Washington Wizards (34-44) team on Sunday and wrapped up their week with a postseason berth on their bags, defeating the visitors 118-109 at MSG.
The Knicks, mind you, didn’t have any of Julius Randle (ankle) or RJ Barrett (non-COVID illness) available. The former will be re-evaluated in less than two weeks and wore a protective boot on his left foot. The latter was nowhere to be found.
The Wiz sat all of Kristaps Porzingis, Bradley Beal, Kyle Kuzma, and Monte Morris. The first will be a free agent next summer.
