Knicks' Maurice Ndour: Will head back to bench Thursday

Ndour will head back to the bench for Thursday's game against the Wizards, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.

The Knicks will opt to start Marshall Plumlee next to Willy Hernangomez in the frontcourt Thursday with Kristaps Porzingis (back) out, sending Ndour back to the bench. It's unclear exactly what kind of a role he'll have at this point, but it seems possible he'll see 15 to 25 minutes of action.
