Injury Report: New York Knicks
Knicks’ Injury Report
The New York Knicks have been hit hard by injuries this season. Several key players have missed significant time, and the team has struggled to find consistency as a result.
Here is a look at the Knicks’ current injury report:
- Kemba Walker (knee) - Out indefinitely
- Derrick Rose (ankle) - Out indefinitely
- Obi Toppin (calf) - Out 2-4 weeks
- Mitchell Robinson (foot) - Out 2-4 weeks
- Nerlens Noel (knee) - Out indefinitely
Kemba Walker
Kemba Walker has been the Knicks’ starting point guard for the past two seasons, but he has missed most of this season due to a knee injury. He underwent surgery in October and is not expected to return until after the All-Star break.
Derrick Rose
Derrick Rose has also been sidelined for most of the season with an ankle injury. He has played in just 10 games this season and is not expected to return until after the new year.
Obi Toppin
Obi Toppin has missed the last few games with a calf injury. He is expected to miss 2-4 weeks.
Mitchell Robinson
Mitchell Robinson has also been sidelined with a foot injury. He is expected to miss 2-4 weeks.
Nerlens Noel
Nerlens Noel has been out since the preseason with a knee injury. He is not expected to return until after the All-Star break.
Outlook
The Knicks have been able to stay afloat despite their injuries, but they will need to get healthy soon if they want to make a playoff push. The team is currently 10-15 and in 11th place in the Eastern Conference.
The Knicks have a tough schedule coming up, so they will need to find a way to win without their key players. If they can do that, they could still make a run at the playoffs.
