The Knicks lose their star for at least a week

RJ Barrett was injured against the Mavericks and will be sidelined for a week. The Knicks star tore his right finger and will not be available for the game against the Spurs.

RJ Barrett’s game against Dallas lasted just two minutes. Then the laceration, with a bloody finger after the clash with Luka Doncic. The hope of the Knicks is that RJ can recover at most within a week.

Barrett is averaging 19.7 points per game in 35 appearances, falling below 20 points due to his scoreless two-minute stint against the Mavericks.
