Tom Thibodeau Offers Injury Update for Key Knicks Guard
The New York Knicks are pushing through a tough stretch, dealing with injuries but staying competitive in the Eastern Conference.
In spite of the absence of key players, they have maintained their battle and have continued to accumulate victories. Currently holding the No. 3 spot with a record of 47-27.

Their most recent victory came yesterday, when they beat the Portland Trailblazers 110-93.
OG Anunoby stepped up with 28 points, including good fourth quarter, to help seal the win.
With Jalen Brunson and Miles McBride both out, Delon Wright filled in and put up 7 points in 35 minutes. The Knicks have relied on their depth all season, and it's paying off.
McBride has been sidelined since March 21 due to a groin injury. He was playing some of his best basketball before getting hurt, providing strong defense and consistent scoring off the bench.
The Knicks have felt his absence, particularly with Brunson also missing time. Even so, the Knicks have gone 7-3 in their last ten games.

McBride has been day-to-day and has missed the past three games. Head coach Thibodeau says Miles is getting close to returning. When asked about his status, Thibodeau said, 'He's close. We'll see.'
Although he did not confirm whether McBride will participate in the next game, it is evident that he is on the brink of a return.
The Knicks face the Portland Trail Blazers this Sunday as they continue their push toward the playoffs.
Having McBride back would be a big help, especially on the defensive end.
With the season winding down, every game counts, and getting healthy at the right time could make all the difference.

Magic's 2009 Finals vs. Lakers Makes Hypothetical NBA List
Magic's 2009 Finals vs. Lakers Makes Hypothetical NBA List originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Orlando Magic have shown that they have a bright future with their young core of Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. However, the Magic were contenders for the NBA championship during the late 2000s. The organization even reached the NBA Finals in 2009 and battled against Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers. Advertisement Orlando had a promising postseason run that year. In the first round, they beat the Philadelphia 76ers in six games. That was followed by a seven-game series against the Boston Celtics in the second round. Upon reaching the Eastern Conference finals, the Magic faced the Cleveland Cavaliers, led by LeBron James. Orlando outplayed Cleveland in six games to advance to the Finals. Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard during the second quarter against the Denver Nuggets at Amway Klement-Imagn Images With the 2025 NBA Finals underway, Bleacher Report's Matt Velasquez released 15 of the biggest "What-Ifs" since 2000. Surprisingly, the Magic's Game 4 performance against the Lakers made it to the list. The Magic were up 87-84 with 11.1 seconds left. Their franchise star at that time, Dwight Howard, was on the line to shoot two free throws. However, Howard isn't the most reliable player when it comes to shooting from the line, as the three-time Defensive Player of the Year shot 59.4% during the 2008-09 season. Advertisement Howard missed both shots, and the Lakers got the basketball. With 4.6 seconds left, Los Angeles' point guard Derek Fisher shot a 3-pointer and sent the game to overtime. The Magic dealt with a 99-91 defeat and fell to 3-1. Orlando couldn't overcome the deficit and lost the series in five games. "But what if Howard had made one (or both) of those free throws and helped the Magic hold on? Then the series would have been tied at two games apiece with Game 5 in Orlando. Had the series been even at that point, there's no telling what could have happened," Velasquez wrote. The Magic couldn't capture what they had that year and were eliminated in the conference finals the following year. The next two seasons were underwhelming as they were eliminated in the first round. Advertisement This also led to the eventual breakup of Howard and the Magic.

Celtics Fans Excited After Jayson Tatum News on Thursday
Celtics Fans Excited After Jayson Tatum News on Thursday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum suffered a devastating injury during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks on May 12. While pursuing a loose ball late in the fourth quarter, Tatum ruptured his right Achilles tendon—a non-contact injury that left him unable to bear weight and visibly distressed as he was helped off the court. Advertisement He underwent successful surgery the following day, performed by renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Martin O'Malley, who has previously operated on athletes like Kevin Durant and Tiger Woods. Prior to the injury, Tatum was having a phenomenal season, averaging 26.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game. His performance in Game 4 was particularly noteworthy, as he scored 42 points before the unfortunate incident.

Despite the grim prognosis, Celtics fans found a glimmer of hope when Tatum posted a photo on his Instagram Stories, suggesting he was engaging in an activity at the Celtics' practice facility. The news of Tatum being back in the Celtics' facility quickly spread, with fans sharing their excitement over it. "Pin this he's back by March," an optimistic fan wrote. Advertisement "Tatum is going to come back disrespectful,' another fan added. "Def putting something on the grill when that first Tatum rehab video drop," a third fan mentioned. "😤 this comeback Sears!" another fan posted. "I'm telling y'all he heal up crazy and he young I wouldn't be surprised if he backs after all star weekend or round 1 of playoffs," said another, While the Celtics organization is unlikely to rush Tatum's return, an early comeback could significantly bolster their championship aspirations for the upcoming season. The team remains cautious, emphasizing the importance of a full recovery, but the prospect of Tatum rejoining the lineup ahead of schedule has undoubtedly energized the fanbase.
