On Sunday, Jan. 15, New York Knicks forward Lance Thomas suffered an injury that could result in his being sidelined for the foreseeable future. The injury has been reported as an orbital fracture, as well as concussion-like symptoms.

According to Al Iannazzone of Newsday, Thomas has been ruled out indefinitely and will be fitted for a protective mask.

Noah would seem like the likely candidate to come off the bench. Hornacek hinted at KP playing 5 if he can play, and using Melo at 4.
