Knicks' Lou Amundson: Plays eight minutes Saturday

Amundson (back) played eight minutes in Saturday's 116-98 preseason win over the Nets, scoring two points (1-2 FG) and adding three assists and a rebound.

A back issue prevented Amundson from suiting up in the Knicks' preseason opener Tuesday against the Rockets, but a few days off was all he needed to remedy the situation. Amundson's contract for the 2016-17 season is fully guaranteed, but he'll still need to play well enough in training camp and the preseason in order to hold off Marshall Plumlee for a roster spot.
