Kolek had 13 points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), a rebound and two assists across 17 minutes off the bench in Friday's 118-117 preseason loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSISKolek led all the bench players in scoring and delivered a solid performance Friday, but that's not expected to change his role in the rotation.
Miles McBride (rest) and
Cameron Payne are ahead of him on the depth chart, meaning Kolek will probably see minimal minutes if he stays with the Knicks once the regular season begins. Starting the year with the Westchester Knicks in the G League isn't out of the question, either.
