If star guard Jalen Brunson is unable to play for the first time this season, the New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau could elevate Immanuel Quickley or Miles McBride to the starting lineup. Derrick Rose and/or Cam Reddish also could rejoin the rotation.

“There (are) a lot of options. The thing is there’s great versatility. There (are) guys who have played a lot with the starters and there (are) some starters that have played a lot with the bench,” Thibodeau said.

“So just get in there and get the job done and the next guys, whether it’s Deuce or Quick, Derrick, they’ve all had experience with the starters so I’m confident with their ability.”
