Cam Reddish finally made a Knicks impact on the same day team president Leon Rose rebuffed trading the new fan favorite.
The Lakers tried to acquire the 22-year-old former Dukie in exchange for draft picks before Thursday’s trade deadline, but Rose declined, with the hope coach Tom Thibodeau will give Reddish a bigger role.
Though Reddish made just one of two free throws with five seconds left, keeping the Knicks at a two-point lead, it didn’t cost them. Golden State great Klay Thompson misfired at the buzzer of“I’m just trying to make the most of every opportunity that I get,’’ Reddish said. “I put in a lot of work. I really do know what I can do on the floor. There’s a lot I can do on the floor. My time will come. Whenever it comes, I’ll make sure I’m ready for it.“Hopefully it all pays off.
Reddish has played the past three games on the trip because of injuries — Kemba Walker missed a game, Quentin Grimes missed two and then Barrett sat out in San Francisco — and what Reddish’s role will be when everyone’s healthy is unclear. Muddling it up further is point guard Derrick Rose’s potential return as soon as Feb. 25, after the All-Star break. “Cam has been terrific,’’ Thibodeau said Thursday.
Knicks fans were desperate for an infusion and supported Reddish’s arrival. During a recent home win over the Clippers, the Garden crowd chanted “We Want Cam’’ in the fourth quarter.
