GREENBURGH, N.Y. – From the big to the small to the downright weird, everything that could go wrong for the Knicks this season has.

The Knicks are on a seven-game losing streak and battling Golden State Warriors for the worst record in the NBA, and played their last two games without Marcus Morris, their leading scorer.

Morris, who expects to play Thursday against Denver, revealed after practice Wednesday that the neck injury that kept him out of losses to Boston and Milwaukee occured when his 1-year-old son jumped on him in bed to wake him up.
