Baron Davis missed the Knicks’ game at New Jersey on Wednesday night because of a stomach virus and was replaced in the starting lineup by Mike Bibby.
Davis was feeling ill Tuesday and played only 18 minutes of the Knicks’ 118-110 victory over Boston. He has been the starter since Jeremy Lin was lost to knee surgery, despite battling a hamstring injury.
Bibby played 27 minutes Tuesday, more than double his season average, and made just his second start of the season Wednesday.
Gerald Wallace was back in the lineup for the Nets after missing four games with a strained left hamstring. Point guard Deron Williams was still out with a sore right calf.
