Laura Price-Brown of Newsday reports that Latrell Sprewell isn?t the only Knick who will be getting a chance against the Sixers this afternoon. Coach Don Chaney has announced that rookie Frank Williams will also get some time as well. Sprewell is returning from a broken hand while Williams is getting the chance to back up Howard Eisley at the point guard spot.

The Knicks normal rotation would consist of Charlie Ward starting at the point with Eisley backing him up. Ward is out with a right leg injury which gives Eisley a chance to start. Chaney could use Allan Houston as the point guard along side of Sprewell to create a big backcourt, but he would rather not.

"If Allan's at point, he's passing the ball. I want him receiving it," Chaney said. "I'm going to give Frank a chance."

A broken wrist slowed William?s development during the offseason, but he has shown some improvement as of late.
