Someone wished on a cursed monkey claw for Tom Thibodeau to have to play small-ball and now we're here.

Doesn't matter. Knicks aren't going anywhere this season anyway.

Sucks for him. He was showing flashes of a real nba player. Hope this is something he can overcome to have a successful and prosperous nba career. Having your body betray you is hard to overcome.

I believe he tore his Achilles before not his knee


Feels bad. Cost him draft position and now when he was showing something he has another setback.

So is 4-6 weeks somewhat accurate for a return? I've seen people acting like he's gone for the year.

Mitch fractured his ankle in the 2nd quarter against Boston in 2023, they came out after halftime and played him for almost 5 minutes before pulling him. The coaching staff and medical team are terrorists.

I’d assume it’s curtains for the rest of the year. Knicks players never make it back by their projected timeline.

We need to bring in Ayton in the offseason. I think he’ll prosper with Thibs and has low trade value.

I feel bad for the kid, but this isn't a career threatening injury so heal up Huk.

Tom has a bad habit of putting players who are clearly compromised back into games and I don't like it.

This is another reason why you play your bench. You don't ask guys to go zero to 100. if an injury happens to a starter Thibs asks his pine riders to play 40 minutes on a dime when their bodies are no longer used to it.
