David Fizdale declares starting jobs must be earned on Knicks' first day of camp

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — When the Knicks took the floor for the first official practice of training camp under David Fizdale there were the usual signs of day one — the exhausted players, the wrong place, wrong time mistakes and the growing pains for rookies and newcomers.

But Fizdale made sure that one thing was not in focus as camp began — starting jobs.

It might seem like a natural extension of a team coming off a 29-win season and facing the possibility of making their way through the entire season without their centerpiece, Kristaps Porzingis. Fizdale assured those who have been starters that nothing is assured and for the newcomers, there are no limits.
