With Afflalo sidelined, Fisher leaving options open at shooting guard
"With Arron Afflalo potentially sidelined up to two weeks with a hamstring injury, Knicks coach Derek Fisher is leaving his options open for the starting shooting guard spot as Wednesday’s season-opener at Milwaukee approaches.
Sasha Vujacic, Jerian Grant and Langston Galloway are all options to start alongside Jose Calderon in the backcourt.

“Arron is still day-to-day even though it’s looking like it will kind of be more than a few days,” Fisher said Monday. “But we’ll see how it goes. We like what Sasha, Jerian and Langston can do in that spot. We like the possibility of playing a bigger guy as a guard or a wing player, so we’ll just figure out what’s best for us opening up on Wednesday night. From my standpoint, I’m not concerned with either of the three guys that are guards. I think each of them could go out there and do a good job if they get a chance to start.”
Asked which “bigger guy” he had in mind, Fisher didn’t specify.
“It could be a number of guys,” he said. “We have some guys that we feel are good enough in handling the basketball and making decisions out on the floor and so we’re open to just doing what’s best for our group and then going from there.”
Afflalo signed a two-year, $16-million deal in the offseason but won’t be ready to start the season.
“Injuries are a part of professional sports, and all sports,” Fisher said. “You’re not happy for the player that he’s dealing with an injury, but you hopefully have a team that can handle any one guy being out. We just want Arron to get healthy whether it’s two weeks or not, we’ll see, as long as he’s getting better each day and he’s getting closer to being back. I think it’s more important for as many of however many games are left in the season. So we’ll be smart about what we do.”
