Kevin Knox needs more of this to silence Knicks’ fears

MILWAUKEE — Panic had started surfacing around Kevin Knox and his future. The former Kentucky star and 2018 lottery pick was regressing and experiencing a mysteriously quiet funk.

It was just one afternoon but the Knox everyone hoped he would look like this season reappeared in Sunday’s Garden matinee.

After scoring just 20 points over his prior seven games, Knox erupted for 17 in the Knicks’ comeback win over mighty Miami.

Knox, amidst a subpar sophomore season in which he’s averaging 7.5 points, needed this. If interim coach Mike Miller, whose club plays the Bucks here Tuesday, could be criticized for anything during his 18-game stint, it’s that Knox had looked lost on his watch.
