Obi Toppin is still coming back after suffering a calf strain in the season opener, with Sunday only marking his fourth NBA game. But Toppin offered a taste of what could happen, posting a record 12 points and five rebounds off the bench in the Knicks 105-75 win over the Celtics at TD Garden.
“Whatever the coach needs me to do, I am willing to do it,” Toppin said. “Anything that can help the team win, I am willing to do it. And I will continue to learn and improve every single day. We have great teammates and great coaches around me who push me every single day to be great. And I can’t wait for that day to come, to be great. “
