Even with the Knicks down 30, no playing time for Kemba Walker

With the Knicks down by 30, it might have seemed like a chance for Tom Thibodeau to empty his bench — and perhaps give Kemba Walker an opportunity to get back onto the floor.

But Thibodeau instead inserted some of his starters and left Walker sidelined for the fourth straight game.

After the Knicks’ 113-99 loss to the Nuggets on Saturday at Madison Square Garden, Thibodeau indicated that right now, there is no opportunity for Walker to play.
