For the game, the Knicks have announced their injury report.

The Knicks have ruled out Precious Achiuwa, Kevin McCullar Jr. and Mitchell Robinson.

Robinson being out to start the season is notable, because he is the team's best rim protector (and one of their best defenders).

He finished last year with averages of 5.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per contest while shooting 57.5% from the field in 31 games.

In addition, Achiuwa is someone who could have replaced his production, so the Knicks will be extra thin with their big men.
