PHILADELPHIA — Quentin Grimes’ return Friday from his left foot injury hasn’t relegated Cam Reddish to the bench. In actual fact, the previous lottery pick enjoyed his best performance of the season for the reason that first game of the season.
Reddish hit all 4 of his shots and scored 11 points in 15 impactful minutes, helping the Knicks rally for a 106-104 victory over the 76ers at Wells Fargo Center. When Reddish was on the ground, the Knicks outscored Philadelphia by 19 points, and he held his own against impressive Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey within the fourth quarter.
“He was excellent,” coach Tom Thibodeau said of Reddish. “Overall hustle, length, running the ground, moving without the ball, a variety of good plays.”
Reddish checked into the sport for the primary time within the second half with 6:42 left in the ultimate quarter and the Knicks down by 10. Maxey scored just 4 of his game-high 31 points the remainder of the way in which, with Reddish defending him nearly all of the time.
“I attempted to go on the market, make as much of an impact as I could,” Reddish said. “Defensively, attempt to do a great job on Maxey. … I just tried to make use of my length, my size, attempt to be tough on him to get shots off. Obviously he’s super-fast, so I had to offer him just a little little bit of a cushion.”
“Overall,” Reddish added, “attempting to do the small things.”
With 3:25 left within the second quarter, Mitchell Robinson was called for his third foul, then subbed out and went to the locker room favoring his right knee. He didn’t return. The Knicks called the injury right knee soreness.
Thibodeau didn’t have an update afterwards on the middle, who has struggled of late. Before going to the Julius Randle-Obi Toppin pairing early within the fourth quarter, Thibodeau went with Jericho Sims for five minutes in his first meaningful motion of the early season.
Derrick Rose played a season-low seven minutes, had 4 turnovers and didn’t get off the bench within the second half.
“Just the way in which the sport unfolded,” Thibodeau said.
The Knicks committed a season-worst 21 turnovers. … The sport began off a stretch of three of 4 games against the loaded Atlantic Division for the Knicks. On Saturday, they may host the defending Eastern Conference champion Celtics and on Wednesday they may visit the Nets.
