Knicks activate Houston

Houston was placed on the injured list earlier this month with a sore knee that has bothered him all season. He had missed the last 11 games.

Houston had arthroscopic work done on the knee this past offseason and was also forced to miss games in November and December because of the problem. In all, New York is 8-11 without Houston in the lineup.

He entered Sunday’s contest averaging 19.5 points, 2.1 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game this season.
