An hour before tip-off, Derrick Williams ripped off his headphones after getting summoned to coach Kurt Rambis’ office. He was told Kristaps Porzingis would miss the game and needed X-rays on a bruised lower leg. Williams was informed he would make his first start as a Knick.
This after playing just four minutes Friday in Boston. There hasn’t been much good news regarding playing time for Williams, and it has gotten worse under Rambis.
