Jonas Valanciunas equaled his season high with 22 points for Washington (5-25). Alex Sarr and Malcolm Brogdon each had 18.
There was a scary moment with 3:07 to play in the third quarter when Washington rookie guard Bub Carrington fell backward while guarding a player and hit a Knicks player’s knee and then the back of his head on the court.
Carrington left in a wheelchair, covering his face and did not return with a post-traumatic headache.

GRIZZLIES’ MORANT OUT WITH SPRAINED SHOULDER >> Ja Morant has a sprained right shoulder and will be considered week to week, the Memphis Grizzlies said Monday.
Morant was hurt Friday when he crashed into a hard, but legal, screen set by Daniel Theis during the third quarter of the Grizzlies’ 132-124 victory in New Orleans. He kept his right arm hanging below his injured shoulder when he later returned to the bench area.
Morant is averaging 21.2 points in 20 games.
