The Nuggets will arrive at the Garden on Sunday having played their last two games against the 76ers — who played with eight active players Saturday because of health and safety protocols stemming from Seth Curry’s positive test — and the Mavericks, who have quarantined three players after one tested positive following Thursday’s game in Denver. “We just gotta do our part individually,” Knicks guard Austin Rivers said Saturday. “It’s tough, though. It is everywhere. Unfortunately in our country, people don’t wear masks all the time. You have ignorance displayed every day, which is causing this to be more delayed and more serious. … It’s frustrating to see people mess around with that stuff. We just control what we control and do our part. The Knicks have done a great job of keeping us in line with that stuff.”
Ian Begley: Austin Rivers on NYK: ‘I’ve been on bad teams before, this is not one. I can promise you that. I don’t know where we’ll end up. There’s so much work to do…But I do know the spirit is different…This is not the Knick team that…ya’ll have been covering” pic.twitter.com/HBIeQ238mD
Mike Vorkunov: “There’s no negotiation. It’s Thibs’ way or the highway. If you want to play you have to play his way. His way just means hard… Thibs is all about effort.” That’s why Knicks have bought in on playing for Tom Thibodeau, says Austin Rivers. He says “Thibs has a respect factor.”
