Unfortunately, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports that the Knicks have listed Afflalo and Seraphin as doubtful for tonight’s preseason game against the Washington Wizards. A valiant effort, Kristaps, but Bradley has no time for your feigned rim protection.

New York Knicks power forward Kevin Seraphin missed practice and shootaround Thursday due to a knee injury. The Wizards come in with the Knicks next and then they will play against Bauru at home before road games with the Sixers and Bucks. The team finishes off the preseason with road games against the Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors.
From there it was Derrick Williams (23 points) and Kyle O’Quinn (14 points and 10 rebounds) who added the punch to pull away.
Both are representing the Eastern Conference and are looking to have a positive impact as they continue to prepare for the coming regular season.
Porzingis had a great showing during this year’s summer league but was unable to do so Wednesday facing Bauru as he only had seven points, two rebounds, and one block. Beal leaped, and the ball hit the Knicks’ Kristaps Porzingis in his shoulder on the way down.
Meanwhile, the Wizards also had a good start to their preseason dominating the Philadelphia 76ers.
In fact, in the game against the Sixers, Otto Porter was the best player with 22 points and going 8-of-10 in the field – including draining all his four attempts from beyond the arc.
Washington survived an early offensive burst from 76ers rookie and 2015 third-overall pick center Jahlil Okafor to later cruised to a 129-95 win.
