After dropping a disappointing game to the Boston Celtics over the weekend, the New York Knicks bounced back with a dominant win over the Detroit Pistons, the worst team in the NBA. Having won just five games this year, the Knicks completely outmatched Detroit despite playing without Obi Toppin, Quentin Grimes, Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, and Miles McBride.
Toppin will be allowed to return after his symptoms subside, and Barrett will clear the 10-day quarantine requirement on Wednesday. The Knicks are slowly getting healthier and scratching their way out of Covid protocols, but they still have quite some time until some of their more prominent youngsters return to the squad.
