LOS ANGELES — New York Knicks guard Deuce McBride had a rough start filling in for the injured Jalen Brunson, who will be sidelined for at least two weeks, and possibly longer, due to a severe ankle sprain. McBride, who assumed the starting point guard role, expressed disappointment with his performance but vowed to improve. “I’ve been a point guard my whole life,” McBride said, “I’ll bounce back and we’ll figure it out.” The Knicks will look to McBride to lead the offense during Brunson’s extended absence.
