MIAMI — Knicks shooting guard Damyean Dotson felt he did all he could do in preseason to show coach David Fizdale he belonged in the rotation.
It wasn’t enough. Dotson was the odd man out of an 11-man playing field, sitting out the first two games to start the season. It probably would be up to four if prized rookie Kevin Knox didn’t go down late in the first quarter Saturday versus Boston with an ankle sprain that will sideline him at least two weeks.
The man they call “Dot’’ was rushed into the game ice cold as Knox hobbled off, yet he scored 10 points in 22 minutes and hasn’t stopped impressing the Knicks coach.
