Shane Larkin: Could start at PG in opener

Larkin would start at point guard in Wednesday's season opener if Jarrett Jack (hamstring) is unable to play, Mike Mazzeo of ESPN.com reports.

Larkin averaged over 20 minutes per game during the preseason, so he should be able to handle an expanded role Wednesday if Jack is unable to suit up. Larkin started 22 games last season for the Knicks but averaged just 6.4 points and 4.0 assists over 30.7 minutes per game in those contests.
