Knicks may target Monte Morris as backup point guard
The New York Knicks lost 97-94 to the Golden State Warriors, dropping their record to 42-24. Miles McBride stepped up in place of injured star Jalen Brunson, scoring 19 points, while Cameron Payne struggled again, failing to score in 10 minutes. The Knicks may look to improve their backup point guard position this summer. They could pursue Monte Morris, a former standout for the Denver Nuggets, who has experience and a strong offensive record. Morris currently plays for the Phoenix Suns. Morris has averaged 4.9 points and 1.7 assists this season, impacted by injuries. His career shooting percentages are significantly better than Payne's, making him a potential upgrade for the Knicks if they decide to move on from Payne.
