NEW YORK (AP) — Chauncey Billups is back in the starting lineup for the New York Knicks’ game against the Indiana Pacers, who are without leading scorer Danny Granger.
Billups missed six games with a bruised left thigh, but practiced Saturday and was playing Sunday for the first time since he was hurt March 1 when he banged into Orlando’s Dwight Howard.
Granger, averaging 20.6 points, was inactive with the flu and was replaced in the starting lineup by Dahntay Jones.
