The NBA has released the injury report for Tuesday, May 26th, and Knicks center Nerlens Noel remains questionable with an ankle injury. Noel picked up the injury towards New York’s Game 1 loss to the Hawks.
Knicks head coach Mike Thibodeau initially downplayed the injury when asked about it following their Monday practice.
Noel first appeared on the injury report on Tuesday as questionable, and the fact that the team didn’t upgrade his status suggests the injury could still be an issue. The former Kentucky product played 24 minutes on Sunday and finished with six points and three rebounds, but it’s his defensive presence that is invaluable to the Knicks.
