NEW YORK — Larry Hughes figured to get more playing time for the Knicks even before Nate Robinson went down with an sprained ankle.
Now that Robinson is expected to miss up to two weeks with the injury, the 6-foot-5 Hughes should get more court time beginning with tonight’s tilt against Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornets.
After sitting through two DNPs in the team’s first two games, Hughes came off the bench Saturday to score 18 points in the Knicks’ 141-127 overtime loss to Philadelphia.
