The New York Knicks never stood a chance against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday afternoon, with RJ Barrett and Obi Toppin missing the contest due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Both players were exposed to a positive case of Covid, leaving them inactive for the game, leaving New York shorthanded.
However, to make matters worse, starting point guard Alec Burks missed the contest due to personal reasons, forcing rookie Quentin Grimes into a more prominent role with the starting five.
Of course, there was no chance New York was going to extract a victory in this game, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton at the top of their games.
