New York Knicks backup power forward Obi Toppin is progressing to return from a non-displaced right fibula head fracture.

The Knicks have upgraded Toppin’s status from doubtful to questionable ahead of Wednesday’s home game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Toppin has missed the Knicks’ last 13 games after sustaining the injury against the Atlanta Hawks last Dec. 7.

The former lottery pick is averaging 7.7 points and 3.8 rebounds as Julius Randle’s chief backup. In his absence, Jericho Sims has put up 2.6 points and 3.8 rebounds in 11.2 minutes as part of the team’s second unit.
