GREENBURGH, N.Y. — With the Yankees, Giants and Jets all off on Tuesday, the city will belong to the Knicks for a night.Sure, the Knicks’ game with the Philadelphia 76ers is just an exhibition, the first game of the season at Madison Square Garden, but it will give New Yorkers an up-close look at Italian Stallion Danilo Gallinari.
The No. 6 overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, Gallinari will come off the bench, and head coach Mike D’Antoni hopes the 6-foot-10 forward can emerge from his shooting funk.
Also, the Knicks will hold an open practice on Saturday at 11:15 a.m. at Fordham University in The Bronx.
