OG Anunoby has missed five consecutive games due to elbow inflammation, classified as day to day by the Knicks. Jericho Sims is also out with an illness, adding to the list of absent players including Mitchell Robinson, Julius Randle, and Quentin Grimes. Tom Thibodeau plans for Mitchell Robinson to start on-court activities after the All-Star break, with progress noted in his recovery from ankle surgery.
If Brunson has to miss any time now - no sure thing and no practice today to find out - the Knicks would be missing four starters (Brunson, Randle, Anunoby, Robinson) and a player who was a starter earlier this season (Grimes). All-Star break can't come soon enough. https://t.co/1BD5BJJBB2
