• Knicks' Austin Rivers: Cleared to play

  2H ago •

  Rivers (Achilles) is available for Tuesday's game against the Jazz. Rivers came off the bench and played 29 minutes during Sunday's loss to Portland, but he was seeing minutes in the teens prior to that, so we shouldn't necessarily expect him to see extended run again. In 25.8 minutes per game this season, he's averaging 8.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists.

  1D ago •

  Rivers is probable for Tuesday's game against Utah due to right Achilles soreness. Rivers missed time earlier in the month with an Achilles injury, but he logged 29 minutes off the bench in Sunday's matchup with Portland and figures to play a good chunk of minutes off the bench again Tuesday night. He's averaging 1.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists in his last four matchups as a reserve.

• Knicks' Austin Rivers: Handles big minutes in return

  Rivers (Achilles) logged 29 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 116-113 loss to the Trail Blazers, finishing with three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and two steals. Head coach Tom Thibodeau wasn't shy about reintegrating Rivers into the rotation following a two-game absence, but the 28-year-old did little to make a case for earning major minutes moving forward. In addition to rookie Immanuel Quickley -- who exploded for a career-high 31 points in 24 minutes -- Rivers will also have to fend off Reggie Bullock (neck) for playing time once he's healthy.

• Knicks' Austin Rivers: Questionable Sunday

  3D ago •

  Rivers (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers. The 28-year-old has been sidelined the past two games with a sore right Achilles, but he may be able to retake the court Sunday. Alec Burks and Immanuel Quickley could continue to see increased run if Rivers is unable to retake the court.
