Kevin Knox continued to make appearances in the games, albeit for brief moments.

Now, Tom Thibodeau has chosen not to play with Knox in the last two games, which shows that he has dropped out of the rotation.

Knox’s difficulties in producing on the pitch continued and he only reduced his minutes. Before the last two games, he played less than 10 minutes in both games against the Utah Jazz and Cleveland Cavaliers.

When asked about relegation, Knox said he can only respect Thibodeau’s calls.

“I know we have a lot of great players on this team. The rotations can get tight,” he told reporters Wednesday. “The coach makes a lot of decisions. But in the end he is the head coach, so whatever decision he makes I have to respect it.”
