Knicks Eye Veterans Amid Roster Overhaul

Mikal Bridges' shooting struggles have been a concern for the New York Knicks following their preseason and season opener against the Boston Celtics, where he initially managed only 2-of-23 from three-point range. Despite this rough start, Bridges showed improvement by scoring 16 points in the second half, suggesting his new shooting mechanics might need more time to adjust. Meanwhile, the Knicks are actively seeking veteran players, with Justin Holiday and Lonnie Walker among potential targets, following injuries to key players. The Knicks made significant offseason moves, acquiring Karl-Anthony Towns in a trade that involved Julius Randle, potentially enhancing their performance. Reggie Miller has identified the Knicks as a serious contender in the Eastern Conference, alongside the Celtics, due to their roster improvements.
