Guillem Gonzalez-Lomas, MD, of NYU Langone’s Sports Medicine Center, shares his thoughts on Knicks big man Precious Achiuwa not being cleared for contact after missing nearly a month’s worth of action with a hamstring injury.
The only two centers on the roster — starter Nic Claxton and backup Day’Ron Sharpe — are sidelined, injured and unavailable.Claxton’s lower back strain
Noah Clowney, still just 20 and stringy, has added some muscle but still isn’t physically ready to defend centers. “We’ve got to box out more, find our man on the box outs,” Simmons said. “It’s a factor. Rebounding is a part of it. You’ve got to box out. So, if you don’t hit somebody or you don’t know where your man is, you’re not going to get the rebound.
When Simmons has come off the bench backing up starting point guard Dennis Schroder, he’s averaged seven points, 10 assists and 5.5 rebounds with a 2.2 net rating and a 55.6 assist percentage that would be elite.
