Live broadcast on December 9th according to official news from Knicks, tuoping suffered a non-displaced fracture of the right fibula, which will be reevaluated within 2-3 weeks.
In an interview, sibodu was asked whether Barrett would replace him to play number 4 if tuoping would be out for a long time. In this regard, sibodu said like this: “I like the idea of letting RJ (Barrett) play number four. I think he showed us the efficiency of playing that position last season, so, I think this is possible.”
In the Knicks game against the Eagles yesterday, tuoping withdrew early due to injury. So far this season, tuoping has played 25 games for the Knicks, averaging 7.7 points and 3.8 rebounds.
