Kristaps Porzingis received the attention for his injury, but the New York Knicks were also without Courtney Lee, who’s ailment arose in training camp; a strained neck took him off the court for two months.
Amid starting lineup alterations and changes to the rotation, Lee’s presence was almost forgotten. He never received a public timeline to return, until a recent comeback at practice, and quality production from Tim Hardaway Jr. and Allonzo Trier have taken over shooting guard.
However, per Zach Braziller of The New York Post, Lee is “probable” to play in Saturday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, thus jumpstarting a handful of storylines that impact the present-day Knicks and the future squad.
