Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Starting sans McBride

Hukporti will start in Sunday's game against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

With Miles McBride (personal) sidelined, Hukporti will rejoin the starting lineup. The second-year big man started Wednesday's season-opening win over Cleveland with Mitchell Robinson (ankle) unavailable, recording two points (1-2 FG), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 18 minutes.
