In the New York Knicks’ first game without the Maple Mamba, Head Coach Mike Miller would turn to Reggie Bullock to take his place in the starting line-up. Bullock would go on to play a season-high 34 minutes in the 90-87 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Bullock, who missed the first 33 games of the season while recovering from spinal surgery, would not disappoint in the extended role. In his first attempt to replace the production lost by Barrett, Bullock would score 14 points to go along with 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals.
Bullock presents a very different style of play than Barrett.
