Hey, fun night – it’s Jacyn Goble’s first game reffing the Knicks since making the call in Houston at the buzzer. I’m sure he’ll get a warm welcome all night. – 7:27 PM

Jalen Brunson back and starting for the Knicks tonight. Considering how bad that knee injury looked when it happened, this is as good as it gets. – 7:23 PM

With OG Anunoby now practicing without limitations, he’s at the final step of rehab: getting cleared by NYK doctors/medical staff. “Just see how he responds the next day (after a practice), the doctor clears him, then he can go,” Tom Thibodeau says. – 6:28 PM

Tom Thibodeau says OG Anunoby (elbow surgery) did ‘quite a lot’ on Thursday in practice. He didn’t want to speculate on if Anunoby would be back within the next two games. The last hurdle is for Anunoby to be cleared by medical staff. – 5:52 PM
