The Oklahoma City Thunder (51-22) take on the New York Knicks (44-29). In terms of health, these are two completely different teams. On the one hand, the Thunder are mostly good to go. But their best player enters with an ongoing concern. Conversely, the Knicks hope that two of their top three players will be able to see valuable minutes soon. But their best player continues to play heavy minutes and at a high level.
Which entry is most important to monitor in this matchup?
Oklahoma City Thunder vs New York Knicks Injuries
New York Knicks
| Player | Injury | Status |
| Mitchell Robinson | Ankle | GTD |
| OG Anunoby | Elbow | Out |
| Duana Washington Jr. | Knee | GTD |
| Isaiah Hartenstein | Wrist | GTD |
| Charlie Brown | Conclusion | GTD |
| Alec Burks | Shoulder | GTD |
| Julius Randle | Shoulder | Out |
The New York Knicks welcome back the inclusion of Mitchell Robinson in the lineup. Furthermore, Isaiah Hartenstein continues to prove his value as the center of this team. Both are listed on the injury report, but knowing how this team is run, it wouldn’t be surprising to see either of these two play. Not only would it not be shocking for them to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but anything resembling a minutes restriction isn’t likely to stand.
Updates:
Isaiah Hartenstein – (Wrist) Available To Play
Mitchell Robinson – (Ankle) Out
Oklahoma City Thunder
| Player | Injury | Status |
| Shai Gilgeous-Alexander | Quadriceps | GTD |
The Oklahoma City Thunder have one entry concern heading into their game against the New York Knicks. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is listed as questionable for this matchup. Outside of him, everyone else is healthy and ready to go. The team is coming off an impressive wind against the Phoenix Suns and they are ready to go.

Entering A New York Knicks State Of Mind
This New York Knicks team seems to want to go all gas and no brakes all the time. Even with the heavy minutes and losing entry concerns, it doesn’t seem to matter. Regular season games mean a lot for this ball club, and they will stop at nothing to not only put one more in the wind column but to make sure that they send a statement. Therefore, anyone who is even remotely available or able to play is likely to. As stated earlier, players seeing limited action on this team is something of a rarity. But many fans are questioning if this approach will come to bite the New York Knicks further down the road.
