Jeff Hornacek is breaking over Knicks’ guard mess

MIAMI — Nobody knows how much input Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek has now in deciding on the team’s starting point guard.

Management is on a mission to see what it has in newly acquired Emmanuel Mudiay, who has started 13 straight games out of the All-Star break. It’s been an unlucky 13 with the Knicks at 3-10 and Mudiay failing to establish proper chemistry with his teammates.

Hornacek, whose future is in doubt, indicated this is a collaborative decision. Hornacek said the club is sticking with Mudiay despite Trey Burke being, by far, the most effective of their three young point guards — including rookie Frank Ntilikina — on audition.
