Sorry, Knicks, only top 16 NBA teams should play when season resumes

The Knicks opened their practice facility Friday morning, but it still seems unlikely that the team will play another game this season.

Stalled at 66 games with a 21-45 record, there are very few permutations of a start-up scenario for the NBA’s suspended season that would include the Knicks. While the league is expected to make an announcement this coming week on plans for a resumption of the season, the plans don’t likely include the league’s worst teams.

Polling of general managers, discussions with the Board of Governors and communication with the players association have provided NBA Commissioner Adam Silver with the favored plans of players and teams and it now rests in his hands to try to find one that makes at least some of them happy.
