“#Immanuel Quickley gets Kyrie Irving lesson in first Knicks start<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Nets point guard Kyrie Irving taught the kid a lesson in the second quarter, putting a series<\/a> of fakes and spin moves on Knicks rookie Immanuel Quickley.<\/p>\n

Irving finally twirled away from Quickley for an uncontested finger-roll layup.<\/p>\n

In his first career NBA start in Monday\u2019s loss to the Nets, Quickley got a learning experience but was hardly overwhelmed in the nationally televised spotlight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was definitely intensity all around the game<\/a>, going against Kyrie, James Harden,\u2019\u2019 Quickley said. \u201cThey\u2019re gifted offensively. It was really cool to get a start against them and it will help me down the road.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Regarding that one sequence when Irving faked him out of his white Knicks shorts, Quickley said, \u201cHe\u2019s a great player who\u2019s going to make plays, but I have that growth mindset that will help me down the road.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Quickley scored 21 points but shot just 4-for-12 from 3-point range.<\/p>\n

With the Knicks decimated at point guard missing their top two guys in Elfrid Payton (hamstring) and Derrick Rose (COVID-19 protocols), coach Tom Thibodeau started Quickley over Frank Ntilikina, who served as Quickley\u2019s backup and fouled out in 16 minutes.<\/p>\n

Ntilikina was scoreless for the third straight game, going 0-for-5 and 0-for-4 on 3s. But Thibodeau credited Ntilikina\u2019s defense in the fourth quarter for helping the Knicks\u2019 comeback.<\/p>\n

Quickley led the offense to an early 18-11 lead after he hit a tough baseline floater over Jeff Green. When Ntilikina came in for Quickly, it all fell apart. The Nets embarked on a 14-2 run and a second unit that suddenly didn\u2019t have Quickley in it was toasted.<\/p>\n

The Knicks\u2019 radio team of Ed Cohen and Brendan Brown has been sidelined indefinitely as the duo are in health and safety protocols, The Post has learned.<\/p>\n
