The New York Knicks are battling significant injuries, and it resulted in an unfortunate loss to the Toronto Raptors on New Year’s Eve. Toronto entered the contest winless, losing their first three, but limited the Knicks to just 83 points on the night.
New York has looked like a revitalized team under new head coach Tom Thibodeau, but with their injuries, the depth is undoubtedly dwindling. Rookies Immanuel Quickley and Obi Toppin are still fighting their way back from hip pointer and calf injuries. Quickley is expected to make a return sooner than Toppin, who could be out as much as two weeks.
