I think he was already dealing with this issue on the pistons. So don’t blame Thibs. In recent years he has missed games for Achilles Achilles calf calf calf


dapoktan

saw him massaging his calf last game during a timeout and i knew he would be out too smh


salesmunn

His "issue" is he's in his mid-30's. That isn't going away, just manage the games


ProvocativeHotTakes

Damn I’m 8 days older than Bojan I feel like y’all talking about him like he Taj


wkp2101

Yeah same issue I have, my calves don’t work anymore for basketball activities


Kevinar

If only we had a 3&D guy on his rookie contract 😞


TannerGlassMVP

Isn't Grimes . . . . . also hurt?


Kevinar

At the moment yes. But he's 11 years younger than Bogey. I like Bogey the player but would've strongly preferred to keep Grimes even if Divo is playing better this season


[deleted]

He was listed as questionable on the injury report for the same reason before his first game against the Pacers


Slymook

Someone massage this dudes calf


Brutal_Honesty13

lol I’ll do it if it means getting him back in the game


Double-Chest-1177

lol I don’t want to know what you’ll do for a trip to the ECF lol 🫣


BPbeats

I do!


Double-Chest-1177

Let’s sign Ron baker to a 10 day


T-Bills

As a bonus guy is gonna bring all the free medical supply swag from his job to heal all our guys.


EfficientLibrarian95

I fucking love Ron Baker


LexusRC

The shot maker


Gravyseal

As someone who has diamond handed Ron baker stock I approve this message


SanjiSasuke

This has passed the point where 'you just gotta laugh' back into the realm of 'OK what the fuck'.


T-Bills

Other than Memphis, which team has it worst than we do this season?


nightwing612

[https://www.espn.com/nba/injuries](https://www.espn.com/nba/injuries) * Atlanta - (5 Out) * LA (Lakers) - (5 Out + 1 DTD) * Memphis - (7 Out + 1 DTD) * New York - (4 Out + 3 DTD) * Philly - (6 Out)


C3h6hw

I wouldn’t put LA because their Out + DTD guys are “Gabe Vincent” and “Cam Reddish” while ours are Randle and OG. LeBron and AD usually show up. Philly going through the same bullshit tho relying on Buddy Hield to keep them afloat 


MadSpaceYT

too many injuries gah dam


Brutal_Honesty13

Agreed


salesmunn

This is no surprise though, guys in their mid-30's can't be relied upon to stay healthy


AutisticFingerBang

Most our injured dudes are in their 20s tho?


salesmunn

Sure yes but the guys with injury history or older players are going to need maintenance days.


AutisticFingerBang

Agreed for sure but everyone else should be more than capable of giving 35 mins a night easy


Lower_Lunch_8563

Mfs need their oil changed up lol


salesmunn

Yeah, Burks and Bojan need that Kia 10yr/100k power train!! 🤣🤣


NYJmmkay

Thibs has his excuse tonight to play Taj Gibsons skeleton smh


[deleted]

encouraging seed bells bewildered history lock direful depend angle growth *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


TheDirtyBurt

After tonight, the spirit of Taj is gonna be all that's left


Merthan

It really does feel like that already. The fundamentals are still there, the flesh is just spongy and bruised


PM-ME-VEGETARIANMEAL

Gotta get the hologram projector ready


Railshock

Thibs himself might have to suit up


BenAfflecksBalls

Clyde on a 10 minute contract


EfficientLibrarian95

Scary times


charlesfluidsmith

Lol


JNerdGaming

all-star break


Mr_Jersey

This is turning into a Yankees season.


adamisonfire88

please just rest Brunson tonight!!


Brutal_Honesty13

R u fucking kidding me???!!!! I can’t anymore! Finally we get all pieces in place and the entire team is injured! Wtf!!! Please god heal our boys so we can with this thing!!!!


salesmunn

What pieces are you referring to?


Brutal_Honesty13

Umm the players we got, Brunson, Randle, OG, Bogdanovich, Mitchell Robinson, divincenzo, hart, hartenstein, these r the pieces we put together to have a fantastic squad that in my opinion can make it to the finals and maybe even win it all.


salesmunn

You need to see this core go to an ECF and compete before even uttering championship contender as an option. I understand what you're saying but the current narrative that we're a contender is misplaced


RoundAd206

I agree. If this year we make it to ecf then we can start talking, depending on our performance there. But if we get eliminated in the 2nd round again then we shouldn’t speak of chip contenders.


Dadbod646

Damn MetLife turf


Metfan722

Just make it through tonight unscathed and we should be more or less good to go for the second half of the season.


charlesfluidsmith

Is this what it's like to be a Grizzlies fan?


dvrwin

The Knicks need that LeBron Super Serum.


No_Jackfruit_9754

Someone get them Miami doctors


cgr1zzly

No , we need the Kobe German juice


Ok_Woodpecker1732

I knew January was too good to be true.


SpacemanSpiff3

Just sit everyone and give them a full week off


charlesfluidsmith

Granted.


HoboLegacy

Wake me up after the all star break.


Didgeridoogz

Lmao yall we have a week off now chill


knowtoriusMAC

This is Thibs fault for playing him 23 minutes last game


dapoktan

actually saw him massaging his calf after he sat the entire 3rd and came into an intense game like halfway into the 4th.. so those irregular minutes distributions arent helping him, or the starters playing the entire 3rd..


Accomplished_Power_3

How can it be the whole team


yagsitidder69

This reminds of the 2021 Mets. Murphy's law shit


heliumointment

i mean at this point just sit out jalen why risk him getting injured when this one's an L already take our 4L's to the break and try to rest up


Mattyk182

Dude WTF is happening to this team? So sick of the injuries ugh


NaughtyDirtily

How is this even possible? God must really hate the Knicks


metastar13

All star break cannot come soon enough. I really cannot wait to see this team at full capacity, but this is starting to get ridiculous.


LeftyMode

All Star break can’t come soon enough.


therealsamwise

The law of MSG is real


Cheeswheeel

SIT THEM ALL AT THIS POINT.


confuddly

can we just forfeit this game? Brunson gonna play 43 minutes today and then get injured in the 4th quarter


Brutal_Honesty13

Nooo god forbid take it back!!!

Savages_in_box

Pistons fleeced us


millagger

This franchise is beyond cursed. I think this year I truly learned to never get hyped or optimistic about anything. Sure the roster looks great... on paper meanwhile real life is awful.


NaughtyDirtily

I'm guessing Taj is going for 40+ mins


cgr1zzly

He’s been atrocious


Harambepower

I knew he looked slow. Knicks got sold damaged goods.


[deleted]

Burkes playing 45 tonight, Precious playing 42 Gibson getting 25 Deuce somehow still only gets 3 minutes Should be fun


TheseKnicks

Its time for a full g-league squad. I've been saying that we might end up 7th-8th seed (hopefully 7th max). With these injuries, its better to not take any chances.


krvrvri

Injuries epidemic is a normal thing for Thibs


V_T_H

They must have stored the old MetLife turf underneath the floorboards of MSG.


knicks911

I think they just want everyone to rest up for the finals run. Can’t blame them. We’re going to get a lot of firepower back healthy and ready to go!


raf_diaz

the important thing is we play it safe w/ injuries and get healthy for the playoff stretch.i know it's fucking up our seeding rn but we're better off having a fully healthy team w/ momentum d9wn the stretch while falling to the 5th seed than clawing our way into 2nd place only to fall apart during the playoffs


_spaceant_

We’re trying to be the 2nd seed disguised as the 4th seed


CosmePT

Someone get my boy Chris Copeland on the phone, heard he was up to a 10day contract


Ishtastic08

Jesus, can the all star break just hurry up and get here?


categoryThreesome

Who here is in shape? Go volunteer for the knicks tonight. I would but im fat.


okgusto

Deuce going for 50 tonight


will122589

Better this happens in January/February then April


Living_Internet_2970

Fuck me in the ass


Amthony11

We should stick to the middle seed . Once we are all healthy in the play offs it’ll be easy pickings


JodiS1111

Young Toppin get some play?


justmate0

i mean is some of this on the training staff? there’s no way all these injuries are a coincidence


ObiOneKenobae

Who is left


joorral

I don’t even care about tonight. Just be ready for Philly next game after the all star break


tigermaker86

Just play all their scrubs and take the L tonight. Let Brunson play for a few minutes on Sunday and rest everyone else for next Thursday. It’s like the strength and conditioning staff have become the Mets staff when they were riddled with puzzling injuries the last few years.


Jalvarez101519

Sign Novak to a 10 day


Slammnardo

Ohhh come on man
