David Fizdale not thinking about demoting Knox and Robinson

PHILADELPHIA — With his two 2018 draft picks regressing, Knicks coach David Fizdale said he’s not planning to ever send Kevin Knox or Mitchell Robinson to the G-League for a game with the Westchester Knicks.

After Wednesday’s 117-91 blowout loss to the Sixers, Fizdale said he saw good signs from Knox and Robinson, but they were baby steps. Knox shot just 3-of-9 for nine points, but he impressed the Knicks coach with a couple of moves to the basket.

“I thought Kevin had good flashes of aggression,’’ Fizdale said.

Fizdale celebrated on the sideline after one of his fancy fourth-quarter driving baskets, but there hasn’t been a lot to celebrate lately with Knox.
