What happened

New York activated Dalton Knecht for Wednesday's game against Chicago, and he made his Knicks debut after the club signed him to a two-way deal nearly two weeks earlier.

He entered for Andre Drummond, scored 10 points with seven rebounds in 16 minutes, and said he was ready when the coaches told him to stay available.

LINEUP CONTEXT

If Brown keeps using him, Knecht could deepen the bench, but Wednesday's blowout leaves his regular rotation role uncertain.
