Knicks rookie Obi Toppin out seven to 10 days with right calf strain
The New York Knicks will be without rookie forward Obi Toppin for at least seven-to-10 days. An MRI confirmed the 22-year-old suffered a right calf strain, the team announced Saturday.
Toppin was injured in the Knicks' season opener against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. He notched nine points, three rebounds, one assist and two blocks in a 121-107 loss.
The Knicks selected Toppin with the eighth pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. The Brooklyn native played college basketball at Dayton and played for multiple teams in high school.
New York is 0-2 on the season and doesn't have much of a chance to get its first win of the season against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.
