Obi Toppin participated in Knicks practice with no limitations on Sunday, and should return against the Bucks on Monday after missing 15 games.
The third-year forward practiced fully Sunday, coach Tom Thibodeau said, and Toppin was not listed on. All signs point to Toppin playing Monday in a Garden matchup against the Bucks after missing 15 games with a non-displaced fracture in his right fibula. If Toppin, who has been ramping up in practice recently, plays and slides back into the second unit — “He could,” Thibodeau said — their rotation would be curious.
“I love the depth. And whatever we decide to do, that’s part of sacrificing for the team and putting the team first, and understanding how the team is playing right now also is an important part of it,” Thibodeau said from Tarrytown, when asked about his backup center. “We have a really good group of guys, high character, and you have to put the team first.Obi Toppin is expected to return on Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks, with RJ Barrett still out of the lineup.
