Updating a previous report, Jason Kidd (back spasms) will not play in Monday's cross-town showdown with the Nets.
Ronnie Brewer will start at SG, with Kurt Thomas at PF -- J.R. Smith figures to play more and needs to be in all active lineups, in case he wasn't already. Kidd should be considered day-to-day, and the Knicks' next game is Wednesday in Milwaukee.
