The New York Knicks are still figuring out how to deal with their wing rotation amid OG Anunoby's hamstring strain. Veteran sharpshooter Landry Shamet was proving integral to those efforts before suffering a shoulder injury. Head coach Mike Brown has continued to turn to rookie Mohamed Diawara, who has impressed throughout Summer League and preseason stints. His lack of 3-point shooting ability, however, has made it difficult to play him more than just a handful of minutes each night.
In the win over the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night, Diawara made just a 54-second appearance in the second quarter.
