Nate Robinson, a leading candidate for this season's Sixth Man of the Year award, could soon replace point guard Chris Duhon in the Knicks' starting lineup.

Coach Mike D'Antoni loves using Robinson as the first player off the bench, but Duhon is dealing with a variety of injuries.

"Chris is really struggling physically," D'Antoni said of Duhon. "You can see his back and his ankle [are hurting] ... He probably should have told me he wasn't feeling well. You could see he had no pop and ... talking to him , it didn't seem like it would be a problem."
