Brown told the five starters they will play.

“I specifically went down the line talking about Jalen, Mikaille, OG, Kat, and Josh. I said, those five, they're going to play... everybody else in this gym, you fighting. You fighting either to make the team or you fighting for minutes.”

Bridges has been efficient off the pull-up and looks more confident finishing at the rim.

“I would like him to, you know, to add some more of that to his game as opposed to just relying on the pull-up, but he's been great with the pull-up in terms of efficiency and decision-making. So, again, just add the ability to finish at the rim at times, which it looks like he's starting to be more confident.”

The Knicks will ease their regulars in and build their minutes up toward the preseason finale.

“We'll try to ease them in. The last game is always a dress rehearsal but we'll try to build them up leading into that game.”
