Knicks, Rivers: “My role will be to help the team”

Austin Rivers, who plays the point and shooting guard, said he’s not sure to start, but wants to be a leader after finally being the senior statesman of a team.

“My role will be to help the team win,” Rivers said. “If they start me, fine. If they don’t, I’ll still be there to compete every night. Regardless, for me it was never about starting the game. It was about finishing the game. “
