Hughes Out Against Cavaliers on Saturday
The New York Knicks were without Larry Hughes’ services on Saturday night as they traveled to Cleveland to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Hughes injured his big toe against Milwaukee on Friday night, according to Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni.
Hughes had only scored two points in 20 minutes against Milwaukee before injuring himself on Friday night. He’s been used sparingly in the Knicks’ rotation, only averaging 9.6 points in 31 games this season.
After falling out of the active rotation earlier this season, Hughes asked to be traded from the Knicks to a team where he’d have an opportunity to play.
Hughes played with the Cleveland Cavaliers between 2005-08 before coming to the Knicks, having started for most of the Cavaliers’ 2006-07 season where they lost to the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals.
