The New York Knicks star forward RJ Barrett remained sidelined for the team for a third straight game with a lacerated right index finger.

“He’s doing what he can, when he’s cleared, he’s cleared,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said before the win over the Suns. “He’s in a similar place to where Jalen was. Each day, a little bit more. And when he’s ready, he’s ready.”
