The Knicks got good news on the injury front on Tuesday night, as head coach Tom Thibodeau told reporters that Kemba Walker's knee tests came back clean, and the veteran point guard is dealing with general soreness.
Walker hasn't played in the last two games after coming on strong following six-game stretch following his exile to the bench. In those six games, he was averaging over 19 points per game while shooting 38.5 percent from beyond the arc. That included a 44-point night against the Wizards on Dec. 23.
Walker's health has been a concern in recent years, and he was limited to one game of back-to-backs this season until last month, when he played 33 minutes against the Timberwolves on Dec. 28 and 20 minutes against the Pistons on Dec. 29.
In addition to Walker, Mitchell Robinson has been cleared to return for Tuesday night's game against the Pacers, while Nerlens Noel is out despite being cleared from the league's health and safety protocols. Julius Randle was a game-time decision.
