Knicks rookie Iman Shumpert was forced to the bench for both overtimes against Denver on Saturday with cramps. He sat with ice wrapped around his back during the two overtime periods and received an IV after the game.
It is a problem that's prohibited Shumpert from completing games twice this season.
He also dealt with cramping issues in college at Georgia Tech and in high school.
The Knicks training staff has been working with Shumpert to avoid the cramps, but they continue to affect the 21-year-old guard.
"I wish there was something I could do," said Shumpert, who had 18 points on 7-of-16 shooting.
