It already was an adjustment for Kevin Knox when he went from the Knicks' leader in games started and minutes played last season as a rookie to a role off the bench this season with the influx of free-agent veterans to the roster. But Wednesday night in Philadelphia, he played a season-low 10 minutes and 19 seconds and never got off the bench in the second half except to cheer on his teammates.
It was the most notable benching of his young career, a hard lesson coming courtesy of Knicks coach David Fizdale.
