He’s not playing against Indiana in this play off series.

One would think he has to be running by like tommorrow for that to even be a possibility

Stop! Did we not see what happened to Mitchell? Do we need OG to hurt himself worse?

Realistically, there is zero possibility of him coming back with this type of injury. Knicks just holding back the white flag but they know the deal.

It ain't happening.

I agree writing is on the wall based on current progression, but keeping Suttersr's most optimistic eval in place here. Till they say its done, will continue to consider it a chance.

Obviously tonight he is out - and tonight is must win. They still need to beat us two games, so my mind is not in "give up" mode. Lots of things can change.

Hammy's are so fickle - best we can hope for is to stay alive as long as possible where maybe he can get back on court to impact.

The boys can certainly gut it out and the adjustment Thibs made last night, might actually allow us to win without him and get him 5 extra days, we can even rest him game 1 next series.

Deuce has the legs to play the extra minutes and Boston has been unimpressive.

The Knicks toughness is insane.

OG will make the decision. He is a free agent at the end of the year so he's gonna protect himself. If he gets cleared to run he can decide whether he wants to play in an elimination game or not. We don't have any imaging etc., but Dr. Sutterer implied that a sprint strain could mean missing a 2-3 games and being able to play.

I think for us only 2 things to look for - Game 6 requires him being able to run by tommorow most likely, game 7 would require him running by Friday. If he's not running he's not playing.

No such thing as a "sprint" strain.

Three categories of strains.....1,2,& 3. Thats it. I don't believe the Knicks ever released what type of strain he has but I think its safe to assume that it MAY just be a mild strain (type 1) since he is doing light workouts.

Everyone heals differently. He may be back if there is a game 7 against the Pacers, but I am of the mindset that he won't return for this series. I wouldn't rule him out if the Knicks advance to the Eastern finals though. Probably be on a minute's restrictions and bring back slowly
