Damyean Dotson threatened to wear his Houston Astros cap to Friday’s game if his hometown team is in command of the ALCS against the Yankees. For now he’s just happy to put a Knicks jersey back on.
On the five-month anniversary of his shoulder surgery, Dotson was ready to make his preseason debut Wednesday at the Garden, even if he didn’t get on the court in a 100-96 loss to Atlanta amid a crowded competition at shooting guard.
Dotson finished last season as the starting shooting guard and also with an undetected labrum tear he likely played with for a few months.
