Deuce McBride left the New York Knicks’ Sunday afternoon win over the Orlando Magic late in the third quarter with a left ankle injury, and did not return. Initial x-rays have since come back negative, but the team must now wait with bated breath for additional testing—the results of which could define their focus and urgency at the trade deadline.
This is not an attempt to overstate the severity of McBride’s injury, which he suffered on a left-handed drive to the basket. On the contrary, with the caveat we have no MDs around these parts, it seems that the Knicks and Deuce avoided the worst-case scenarios.
