• Knicks' Lance Thomas: Out Wednesday vs. 76ers

  04/11/2017 • By RotoWire Staff

  Thomas (hip) will not play during the Knicks' final game of the season Wednesday against the 76ers, Steve Popper of The Record reports. With the Knicks eliminated from playoff contention, coach Jeff Hornacek will opt to sit Thomas, who is dealing with right hip soreness, for the last game of the season. The 28-year-old forward will finish his sixth year in the league averaging 6.0 points and 3.1 rebounds across 21.0 minutes per game while drilling a career-high 44.7 percent of his three-point attempts. With Thomas out of the picture, expect the likes of Mindaugas Kuzminskas, Justin Holiday, Maurice Ndour, Kyle O'Quinn and Willy Hernangomez to absorb his minutes at both forward slots.

With both Kristaps Porzingis (back) and Carmelo Anthony (rest) also out, Maurice Ndour and Marshall Plumlee could take on bigger roles in the frontcourt.
