New York Knicks vs Philadelphia 76ers Team News
New York Knicks Team News
The New York Knicks are facing a big setback in their playoff game against the Philadelphia 76ers because star forward Julius Randle hurt his shoulder and will not be able to play for the rest of the season.
Randle's absence leaves the Knicks' lineup with a big hole because they can't score, block, or make plays like he does.
While Randle wasn't playing, Josh Hart stepped up and regularly contributed, averaging 9.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. He showed versatility and hustle on both ends of the court.
Additionally, guard Jalen Brunson has been scoring like crazy, averaging an amazing 33.9 points over the last 10 games. He has given the Knicks much-needed offensive spark as they try to keep their playoff momentum even without their star player.
Philadelphia 76ers Team News
It's been hard for the Philadelphia 76ers to play because of injuries in their playoff game against the New York Knicks.
Robert Covington, a forward, is still out with a knee injury, so the team is missing his defense skills and ability to play different positions on the court.
Meanwhile, guard De'Anthony Melton is listed as "day-to-day" with a back problem, which makes it even less certain that he will be able to play in future games.
Maxey has been an outstanding player for the 76ers despite these injuries. He averages 25.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game, showing how good he is at scoring and setting up plays.
Additionally, Joel Embiid is still a force in the paint. Over the last 10 games, he has averaged 18.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and an impressive 47.1% shooting percentage. He leads the 76ers offensively and gives them direction as they try to even the series against the Knicks.
