GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- The New York Knicks are in line to get more reinforcements back for their Christmas Day matinee against the Atlanta Hawks after RJ Barrett participated in the team's brief practice Friday afternoon.
"He did more today," Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said of Barrett. "We'll see how he feels tomorrow, and go from there."
Barrett hasn't played in a game since entering the NBA's health and safety protocols last week. He's missed the past six games, as the Knicks are in a brutal stretch in which they've gone 3-8 in their past 11 games.
