The Knicks announced Friday that forward Steve Novak is inactive for Game 6 because of back spasms. In his place, Earl Barron has been activated.
Barron was a late-season addition to the Knicks after forward Rasheed Wallace retired.
Novak has been an important part of New York's 3-point-based attack as he's established himself as one of the game's top marksmen. Without him, the Knicks definitely lose a little offensive pop off their bench.
