Ian Begley: Knicks say Alec Burks (ankle) is doubtful for tomorrow vs. BOS. Frank Ntilikina remains out. Nerlens Noel (back) and Mitchell Robinson (heel) are probable.
Ntilikina, who sprained his knee the last time the Knicks visited Cleveland on Dec. 29, remains out indefinitely, with coach Tom Thibodeau giving no indication a return is close. “It’s a sprain,’’ Thibodeau said before the Knicks’ 106-103 loss to the Cavaliers on Friday. “We have to be patient and let him work through that. He’s making steady progress. It will probably be a little while longer.”
Mike Vorkunov: Frank Ntilikina is still out for the Knicks. Tom Thibodeau insists that it’s just a knee sprain for Ntilikina, who hasn’t played since Dec. 27. Thibs: “It’ll probably be a little while longer.”
Frank Ntilikina out another week
Injuries to Alec Burks and Frank Ntilikina, in particular, has Barrett playing more minutes than Thibodeau would like and neither will be back in the next week. Ntilikina (sprained knee), has missed nearly two weeks with a sprained knee and doesn’t figure back at practice for another week, according to Thibodeau.
Mike Vorkunov: Frank Ntilikina will remain out for at least another week, Tom Thibodeau says, before being evaluated again. The Knicks guard hasn’t played since Dec. 29 because of a knee injury. Thibs: “He is making good progress. You just want to make sure he’s completely healthy.”
