Evan Fournier will miss the New York Knicks home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers Tuesday night for personal reasons, but a good one.

According to SNY’s Ian Begley, Fournier’s wife gave birth to a boy.

Fournier’s absence could give Derrick Rose a shot at earning playing time if Immanuel Quickley (sore left knee) continues to miss time.
