Game Thread: New York Knicks vs. Memphis Grizzlies Friday, February 28, 2025 at 8 p.m. ET

Excited to see Mitch take the floor but need to be realistic at the same time that we may not see his full potential this season. He hasn't played in 9 months.

He's never been this healthy, primed, and HUNGRY....we'll see it in spades!

I would have agreed if there were only 10 games left or so. But with 24 games I'm positive he can be close to 100% if he stays healthy. Especially considering the fact that his game is mostly defending, rebounding and blocking shots. Keep in mind he has done extensive rehabbing and conditioning work as well. I think by mid to late march he will be in pretty good shape.

Mitch is the only option that can improve Thibs as a coach. Going to be interesting to see what he does. My guess is Josh Hart to the bench as a sixth man. Mitch at center with KAT at the 4.

Expecting Mitch to start or to even play big minutes this season is unreasonable. He should be treated with kid gloves until the playoffs.

True but we haven’t seen him this skinny since his rookie year

When we play Memphis, I’m watching JJJ instead of the actual game, thinking how great of a fit he’d be next to Towns…

Going to be at the game today. Would be a good one to win, especially with the injury woes we’ve been facing

I’d love to see the return of Mitch tonight

So is Mitch a game time decision for tonight?
