That wasn't an Achillies injury, it was a sprain, guys grab the back of their heel when they tear/rupture their Achillies and generally can't walk off the court.


The only positive is that he was already going down when he rolled it and didn't look like it was full weight. Even then, that was an ugly sprain and I'd be shocked if he doesn't miss some time. Desmond Bane has been out for weeks now with a similar ankle sprain, but I'm thinking some of that is tanking.

Let's not forget Precious, his contributions have been great! That and Devo's ascension says a lot about our staff.

I didn’t think brunson injury looked that but the way Thibs responded with such short answers didn’t make me feel super reassured.

Only the Knicks after a 9 game win streak would have this happen, we can't have SH*T here.

Tom Thibodeau will never win anything meaningful as a head coach.

His teams can limp their way into the playoffs but they are destroyed by then.

Nothing will ever change.

If Hart is hurt, then Grimes becomes an important player again.

We have good guard depth so next man up

Donte continues making his case that he’s our starter and he’s not going back to the bench, Murray or no Murray

I feel like Murray fits the bench more anyways, he can be the ball handler, try to score, etc. He's not great off-ball which is why he doesn't like playing next to Trae (allegedly).

So I think is Murray is willing to be the super 6th man he would excel.

At the very least Thibs would need to start him but stagger his minutes without Brunson/Randle so he can play this role as primary ball handler.


Ideally yeah but realistically I don’t see that happening. They would have to give up too many assets and he’s making too much money to be coming off the bench and he’s still young so I don’t think that’s how it would happen but I do agree ideally his skill set would be perfect with our bench
