Knicks’ top rookie missed out on crucial learning experience

Knicks rookie Immanuel Quickley saw his NBA debut end early Wednesday after suffering a hip pointer against the Pacers, the team announced.

The point guard appeared to hurt his hip while colliding with Indianapolis power forward Myles Turner in the second quarter.

Quickley shined during the preseason after he was selected with the 25th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, but began the season-opener off the bench in favor of veteran Elfrid Payton.
