Lance Thomas fought plantar fasciitis early in the season then was out for 14 games after suffering a fractured orbital bone. But he is back, and his presence has helped the Knicks’ defense.
“Continue to stay vocal, just be aggressive. Do the things that my teammates expect of me. And just do it at a high level and be consistent,” Thomas said Saturday of what he has done.
With the Knicks, it always is “look for a silver lining.” Thomas may have found one in his fracture: his feet feel fine.
“I don’t feel any of that in my feet,” said Thomas, who scored a season-high 21 points in Friday’s loss in Philadelphia.
