GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Hang in there.
That was the message that one of the most legendary Knicks delivered to the team before practice Thursday.
Willis Reed addressed the 14-58 Knicks at the team’s practice facility. Reed, who has been texting back and forth with Knicks coach David Fizdale this season, also attended Wednesday night’s 137-116 loss to the Jazz.
“How cool is that?” Fizdale said about having Reed attend a practice. “He’s a guy who’s a great talker. He’s constantly sending me text messages and encouraging me. So we finally got him to hang out with the guys.
