Smh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been saying I wouldn't be surprised if he gets surgery and he's out a while.
The Knicks do this with their injuries. They lie about them then randomly announce a surgery and a guy being out 2 months.

I know he wants to play but organizations need to protect these players from themselves at times.
The Knicks failed to do so with Grimes last year and now before this season even started.
It's negligence at the organizational level.

There should be no rush. Let Evan demonstrate his uncanny abilities as a human turnstile while Grimes heals and then bring him back.

I was going to say this is the most disappointing thing that I've experienced in the last few years but that would be his last 4 albums.

In the absence of Grimes, I like Cam starting... Cam can do what Fournier does: which is nothing, but with 10x better defense and deflections.
The Big 3 will take all the shots: RJ, Brunson, Randle
Fournier will light it up off the bench on kick-outs from Rose and Quick

Cam is not that much better than Fournier on defense to make up for the gap offensively. Fournier can shoot, space the floor, and also create in a pinch. Cam does nothing on offense besides the occasional nice play.
Fournier is awful on defense.
Cam is awful all-around.
By NBA standards.

Similar to how not every shot at the basket needs to result in a block in order for a player to be considered a strong rim protector, not every deflection needs to result in a steal to influence a defensive possession. If the offensive team is in a half-court set and a defender deflects a pass, even if the offense recovers, the flow of that possession is now completely thrown off. Will some offenses recover the deflected pass and still execute and score? Sure, but that deflection made it a bit more difficult.
