NEW YORK, New York -- Kyle O’Quinn certainly looked at home Wednesday night. While many of the other new Knicks had some predictable jitters playing at the Garden for the first time as members of the home team, O’Quinn had no such problems.
After all, the versatile 6-foot-10 power forward grew up a Knicks fan, just a 45-minute subway ride from MSG, in South Jamaica, Queens.
“Being in the home locker room, putting on the white jersey, it felt good,” O’Quinn said after practice Thursday at the MSG Training Center. “My mom was there, she was happy to be there. It was a good feeling being at the Garden. It was definitely a good feeling getting a win at the Garden.”
He came to the Knicks in a sign-and-trade with the Magic this offseason in exchange for cash and Orlando being given the option of switching second-round picks in the future with the Knicks. O’Quinn received a four-year, $16 million deal from the Knicks.
