The Knicks, under Thibodeau, have held on to one idea consistently— suit up when healthy.
He also understands that any injury in the All-Star Game would be devastating and run contrary to the messaging/direction of the league.
In other words, the Knicks starters had played the equivalent of nearly two full games more than any other group. Part of that is because of the lack of depth — their bench is dead last in minutes and scoring — and the other part is just The Thibs Way. The benefit is a cohesion that is developing nicely in the holiday season, with the Knicks winning eight of their last 10 and suddenly hitting their defensive stride.
In Saturday’s victory over the Pelicans, the two-way wing was back to wearing a brace over his surgically repaired right elbow — a familiar sight from last season.He also received treatment on his leg/foot area in the locker room after logging 37 minutes. “I think we’re in a good place right now. But still a long way to go,” Brunson said. “It’s not even Christmas yet, not even New Year’s, a lot of basketball to be played.
