The New York Knicks lost to a shorthanded Orlando Magic team, facing issues of player fatigue and a lack of bench support, raising concerns about their star players' workloads.
Despite acknowledging that tired legs played a part in the game, Jalen Brunson insisted it wasn't an excuse for their performance, suggesting the team needs to be better regardless.
Head coach Tom Thibodeau's failure to rotate players effectively means the Knicks' starters are logging excessive minutes, with Brunson and several others among the top 20 in the NBA.
The Knicks' bench is struggling, averaging only 11.9 minutes per game, indicating a reliance on starters that ultimately contributes to the team's recent underwhelming performances.
