Quentin Grimes injury status vs. Cavaliers
Though Quentin Grimes has been rather inefficient from an offensive standpoint throughout his first NBA postseason thus far, his impact on the defensive end of the floor has still proven to be vital to New York's game plan.
Unfortunately, the Knicks will be forced to try and pull out their third win of the series without the second-year pro's contributions in tow, as he has been ruled out for Game 4 with a right shoulder contusion, as per the league's official injury report.
The ailment was sustained during Friday's Game 3, though a cause has yet to be established.
Through three games played, the 22-year-old is posting lowly per-game averages of just 3.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists all while shooting 18.2% from the floor and 11.1% from deep.
So, when it comes to the question of whether or not Quentin Grimes will be playing tonight vs. the Cavaliers, the answer is a resounding no.
