New York Knicks Injury Tracker-Super star OUT Monday vs. Toronto Raptors

According to the New York Knicks’ injury report, Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will not play against the Toronto Raptors on Monday at 7:30 p.m. ET (MSG). After the Boston game on Monday, Robinson arrived late to the locker room after halftime and ended up playing just five minutes of the final twenty-four. Robinson, the Knick with the longest contract, has been one of the team’s most reliable players, especially in the interior where he grabs 10.3 rebounds per game. Head coach Tom Thibodeau had stated that Robinson would have “additional testing” done on the questioned ankle earlier in the afternoon, according to Fred Katz of The Athletic.

After Friday’s game against the Boston Celtics, New York Knicks guard Fred Katzinjured his ankle in the last minute of play, which caused anxiety among the crowd. It doesn’t seem like the injury will prevent him from missing any time, though. Tom Thibodeau says that Brunson is “good,” allowing him to play against the Toronto Raptors on Monday night (7:30 p.m. ET, MSG), according to Fred Katz of The Athletic.

With just over 21 seconds remaining in Friday night’s loss to the Boston Celtics, Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks departed the game. As Derrick White attempted a free throw, Brunson, who was still in the game and the Knicks down 12, tangled with Payton Pritchard. When Brunson attempted to advance but ended up limping, the Knicks had to call a timeout. After a 133-123 loss, head coach Tom Thibodeau remained silent about Brunson’s situation, citing that he had not yet spoken with the training staff, according to Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News

Julius Randle (right knee inflammation) is listed as QUESTIONABLE for Friday’s Knicks vs. Toronto Raptors game (7:30 p.m. ET, MSG) by SNY. Since joining the Knicks in 2019, Randle has been incredibly dependable, missing just 18 games during the regular season. In Thursday night’s victory over Detroit, he scored 29 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in 29 minutes of action.

[[UPDATE]]: Randle started the game and put up a Knicks record-tying nine points in the opening frame.

After missing two games due to a wrist injury, head coach Tom Thibodeau stated that Quentin Grimes will be back in time for Monday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to Fred Katz of The Athletic. Donte DiVincenzo has taken Grimes’ place in the starting five in each of the previous two games, but Thibodeau stated that Grimes “may” return to that lineup, according to Katz. Even though Grimes is back, Evan Fournier (ankle) won’t be accessible.

The New York Knicks have placed RJ Barrett back in the starting five while Evan Fournier (ankle) and Quentin Grimes (wrist) are both out for Saturday night’s game in Charlotte (6 p.m. ET, MSG). Barrett will be back in after missing four games. Fournier is dealing with inflammation after earning his first minutes of the 2023-24 season against Washington on Friday. Donte DiVincenzo will start in Grimes’ place for the second consecutive contest.

The second game of New York’s In-Season Tournament journey, Friday night’s game against the Washington Wizards (7 p.m. ET, MSG), has starters RJ Barrett (migraines) and Quentin Grimes (hand) listed as questionable. Barrett has not played in either of the previous two games, and Grimes left Wednesday’s victory after getting hurt while playing defense in the fourth quarter.

Due to a hand injury, Quentin Grimes had to leave Wednesday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks. The injury happened when Grimes foul-bounded Bogdanović during a fastbreak, and he headed straight to the locker room in New York. Before he left, Grimes had 11 points on 4 of 10 shots, including 3 of 7 from three-point range.

RJ Barrett will not participate in Wednesday night’s game against the Atlanta Hawks, according to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post. Barrett’s reason for leaving has not been disclosed. Due to migraines, the fifth-year pro missed the first game of the Knicks’ five-leg road trip against Boston on Monday night. When Barrett is not in the lineup this season, New York is 0-3.

For personal reasons, Evan Fournier will not be playing with the Knicks on Monday when they begin a five-game road trip against the Boston Celtics, according to Steve Popper of Newsday. Fournier is anticipated to return to the team at some point during the journey, which takes them to Atlanta for a Wednesday matchup. Fournier has not played in any of the Knicks’ first nine games.
