RJ Barrett’s comment to Cam Reddish after being benched in Knicks loss is concerning by Jordanna Clark
The New York Knicks will play their fourth nationally televised game in 11 days on Sunday, February 5 when they host the Philadelphia Sixers. The match will be broadcast on ESPN.
New York is 1-1 against Philadelphia this season, with the most recent game being the 119-112 loss on Christmas Day. On November 4, the Knicks picked up a narrow 106-104 victory over the Sixers, who were without Joel Embiid and James Harden. Mitchell Robinson was injured in that game and will be out again on Sunday.
Knicks and ESPN fans don’t exactly have a good relationship, but Sunday’s game should be the one fans look forward to depending on who’s on the call.
