Knicks’ RJ Barrett likely will miss at least a week with ankle injury

RJ Barrett couldn’t recall the last time he missed a game because of injury, but the Knicks rookie guard will miss at least a week with a sprained ankle he suffered Thursday night against the Suns.

The Knicks said their first-round draft pick will be reevaluated next Friday, but Barrett certainly will sit out Saturday’s home game against the 76ers, as well as their next two games against the Cavaliers and the Lakers.

As if anyone needed more reasons not to watch another spiraling season.

“We’ll have to go day by day and see how he progresses and how the injury heals,” interim coach Mike Miller said after practice Friday in Tarrytown.
