The Knicks are 1-0 this season in games 6-11 big man Henry Ellenson has played. It’s a start.
Ellenson, the 2016 Pistons first-round pick, was waived by Detroit on Feb. 8 to make room for veteran guard Wayne Ellington. The Knicks pounced, signing him last week to a 10-day contract after the All-Star break.
The 22-year-old former Marquette star made his team debut in the Knicks’ victory over San Antonio on Sunday that broke an 18-game losing streak at the Garden. In a four-minute pocket of the second quarter, Ellenson missed his lone shot — a 3-pointer.
