The headaches are gone — at least for Knicks forward Lance Thomas, who is expected to return Sunday against the Spurs at the Garden.
Thomas has missed the last 14 games with a fractured right orbital bone. While working his way back, he experienced headaches that sent him to a specialist.
Now the biggest headache remains the Knicks defense.
“It’s such a relief to not have them anymore, and now it’s time to compete,” Thomas, who last experienced the headaches “about five days ago,” said Saturday.
Now the reserve, who will play with a protective mask, hopes to bring to the Knicks what he does best.
