New York Knicks: Three things to celebrate on Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a day of feasting, being with family, and celebrating this national holiday. There are no basketball games to be played, and the New York Knicks will not return to the court until Friday. However, it’s still a day to appreciate Manhattan’s basketball team.

Appreciate the Canadians

Today is American Thanksgiving, but the Knicks have the Canadians, RJ Barrett and Ignas Brazdeikis to celebrate on this holiday of giving.

Barrett has flashed upside through the first month of the season, including that red-hot start in October. He looked like a future star, and while the production has not matched that furious beginning, he still is one of this team’s long-term building blocks.
