Justin Kubatko: The Knicks are just the seventh team in NBA history to lose consecutive games by 35+ points: * Pistons (Nov. 12/13, 1966) * 76ers (Apr. 21/22, 1994) * Bucks (Apr. 22/23, 1994) * 76ers (Feb. 9/10, 2014) * Nets (Jan. 22/24, 2015) * Hawks (Dec. 2/3, 2016) * Knicks (Dec. 2/5, 2019)
Atlanta Hawks Rumors
Basketball-Reference: Luka Doncic isn’t the only 2nd year player having a big scoring season. Trae Young is averaging 28.7 PPG. In the last 50 years, the only players with more PPG in their first or second NBA season than Doncic or Young are Kareem, Bob McAdoo, and Shaq bkref.com/tiny/jzl7z pic.twitter.com/wUcJKNrfBi
Kevin Chouinard: Kenny Atkinson on Trae Young’s improved ability to draw free throws: “I think he’s been watching James Harden at night.”
Sarah K. Spencer: Kevin Huerter’s left shoulder still isn’t at 100%, but since it’s his left side, he’s comfortable getting back in games. “It’s not all the way back to what it was, but we’ll still work toward that.”
Sarah K. Spencer: I asked Kevin Huerter about his right knee issues, which he started feeling over the summer and have lingered. Sounds like that’s not 100% yet either, but he’s made progress. “It’s a lot better than it was previously, but it’s not like I feel nothing waking up in the morning.”
Sarah K. Spencer: De’Andre Hunter will not play tonight vs. the Nets, but Kevin Huerter will be available, Lloyd Pierce says.
