Talk about devastating news: I could finally fit a Knicks Summer League game into my schedule this week, only to find out that Kevin Knox, Frank Ntilikina and Allonzo Trier would be sitting out Friday’s LVSL finale against the New Orleans Pelicans. (No Allonzo Trier? Heaven forbid!)
But the cupboard wasn’t clearly bare for the Knicks this afternoon. They did have second-year man Damyean Dotson—he of the 30-point game against the Heat last season. Dotson had been extremely disappointing up to this point in Summer League, but he rediscovered his jump shot on Friday, chipping in 15 points on 6-8 shooting (3-4 from three) to go along with six rebounds and five blocks.
