GREENBURGH, N.Y. — As the struggling Knicks await the returns of Carmelo Anthony and Baron Davis from injury, they remain alive in the Kenyon Martin Sweepstakes.
Andy Miller, Martin’s agent, reiterated by text Monday that Martin will make his decision “by week’s end.”
The former Net and Denver Nugget is considering the Knicks, Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio Spurs and Atlanta Hawks.
Martin, who helped the Nets reach two NBA Finals, cannot join an NBA team until his former Chinese team, the Xinjiang Guanghui Flying Tigers, finishes their season Feb. 16.
“We’re always going to do something in the sense of always checking, hoping, trying to better,” Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni, speaking generally, said Monday. “I think that’s a natural thing for any franchise.
“We need to maximize what we’ve got right now on the floor. That’s my job and that’s hopefully what we can do.”
