Immanuel Quickley headed back to his role as the Knicks’ sixth man Wednesday night after making seven consecutive starts due to injuries to Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett.
Still, the third-year combo guard was on the court for the entire fourth quarter — with starter Quentin Grimes playing only the final 1:15 — as the Knicks“I feel like today felt kind of similar just to starting and being out there early,” Quickley said after the game.
Immanuel Quickley played the majority of the fourth quarter against the Pacers despite returning to his role off the bench.“Just the way the game was unfolding, I wanted Quick out there. We ended up putting Quentin back in. I wanted RJ to work through some things too,” Thibodeau explained. “We can close with Quick. We can close with Quentin. … The pressure that we were facing, I thought Quick gave us a little different look than Quentin. I’m comfortable with Quentin in those situations.
With Brunson scoring 34 points, Quickley finished with 11 after averaging 20.3 in his seven games as a starter as the Knicks closed out their fifth win in six games to improve to 23-19 and move back into the No. 6 playoff position in the Eastern Conference entering road games Friday against the Wizards and Sunday against the Pistons .
