David Fizdale is making good on a promise he made to Mario Hezonja earlier this season. When the New York Knicks head coach saddled Hezonja with a DNP-CD in the team’s first trip to Orlando, he promised it would not happen again.
As a result, Hezonja will start against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. Luke Kornet is bounced from the starting lineup, but he should still see significant minutes.
Mario hezonja will start tonight for knicks in place of Kornet – a promise that Fizdale made to him earlier.
