Viacheslav Kravtsov makes rare, brief appearance

Suns center Viacheslav Kravtsov made an extremely brief appearance off the bench -- his first since Jan. 4 -- in his team's 98-96 overtime loss to the Knicks in New York.

Markieff Morris received his second technical foul and was ejected with 9:07 remaining in the second quarter. Because Morris was also fouled by J.R. Smith on the play, Knicks coach Mike Woodson selected Kravtsov off the bench to shoot the technical free throw.

Kravtsov entered the game with a standing ovation from the Madison Square Garden crowd and made 1 of 2 free throws. He returned to the bench and sat out the rest of the game.
