The Knicks ruled out Jalen Brunson for Saturday's matchup at Memphis, thrusting little Deuce McBride into the starting point guard slot and making him the team leader if only for a night. The result? A hard-fought victory on the road against a shorthanded NBA team, 106-94 in favor of the New York Knicks (23-16).
The Grizzlies entered the weekend having played another game on Friday and knowing they wouldn't have Marcus Smart, Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., Desmond Bane, Steven Adams, Derrick Rose, and Santi Aldama around. Adding injury to insult (pun intended), Jake LaRavia left the game not even past the first quarter with an ankle sprain, bringing the Grizz rotation down to eight men.
