Knicks dumping John Henson as Norvel Pelle emerges
NY Post
The Knicks are expected to have an open roster spot with injured power forward/center John Henson’s 10-day contract expiring Thursday. The Knicks don’t plan to give him a second 10-day pact, according to an NBA source.
Third-string center Norvel Pelle stepping up Wednesday when starter Nerlens Noel was a last-minute scratch with an ankle sprain sealed Henson’s fate. Henson injured his calf on the second day of his contract during a workout with Knicks players. The 30-year-old NBA veteran never got into a game, but hauled in $119,000 from his 10-day pact to rehab his calf. Henson didn’t make the two-game road trip to New Orleans and Dallas.More Related News
