Knicks rookie Kevin Knox to miss week with ankle sprain

New York Knicks rookie Kevin Knox will be sidelined for at least one week due to a left ankle sprain.

An MRI on Sunday confirmed that Knox suffered a sprained ankle in the first quarter of the Knicks' loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday, the team said.

Knox will not travel with the Knicks on their two-game road trip this week and will be re-evaluated in seven days. So the rookie will miss at least three games due to the injury.

Knox, 19, was driving for a layup on a fast break Saturday when his ankle appeared to roll badly as he was fouled by Terry Rozier III.
