SNY’s Ian Begley reports that the New York Knicks will be without Julius Randle against the Atlanta Hawks due to a sore quadriceps tendon.
Randle leads the Knicks in points, rebounds, and assists with 20.3, 10, and 5.1. The Knicks are currently tied for 11th place in the Eastern Conference, five games back of the Atlanta Hawks for a spot in a play-in tournament. New York has won two of its past three games but has lost three of five.
The Knicks’ previous game was a 108-93 loss to the Utah Jazz where Randle struggled, with just 13 points on 6-21 shooting.
