Stephon Marbury has regained his starting job, Isiah Thomas announced Tuesday, one week after Marbury went AWOL when learning he was going to be a backup.

Marbury had come off the bench in the Knicks' previous three games, and Thomas felt he had played well enough to warrant being a starter again.

Marbury, however, is still upset about the demotion and when asked about the entire episode said, "To be honest, not a whole lot of good has come out of this."

Thomas was taken aback when told of Marbury's comments.

I bolded the part that made me laugh. More DRAMA. I love it.

Stay tuned for the next episode of Isiah and the Knicks.

Isiah Thomas appeared caught off guard by Stephon Marbury's comments to the media on Tuesday.

When asked what he will take away from the recent controversy, Marbury gave the following statement.

"To be honest, not a whole lot came of it. There’s nothing good coming out of all of what went on, but for myself, being able to weather the storm, to have focus when I went back onto the court was something that was good for myself. And as far as what I had to deal with and as far as my teammates are concerned, I think everyone wants to get this past them and go forward."

When asked for his reaction, Thomas first asked the Knicks' public relations representative to confirm that Marbury had actually given such a statement.

"I have to make sure," Thomas said. "I don’t know. I think as a player, you never want to be benched. You always want to play. But from a team aspect, I think the things he’ll deliver are exactly what we need. And if he’s not delivering those things again, then the bench awaits him."
