Though coach Dwane Casey indicated Knight (knee) would be available in a limited role for Sunday's game against the Knicks, the veteran guard didn't see the court in the Pistons' 96-84 loss.

EDGE Analysis

In Casey's parlance, "limited" must have meant "only in an emergency," as Knight was withheld from action in the second half of the back-to-back set with a sore left knee. Considering that Knight was questionable prior to Saturday's 111-105 loss to the Jazz, the Pistons were probably wise to act cautiously. Knight should have a better chance at seeing action Wednesday in Philadelphia, though it's unclear whether he'll take back the starting point guard job from Bruce Brown, who was effective in Knight's stead Sunday (16 points, six assists and four rebounds in 37 minutes).
