Cam Reddish Exits Knicks vs. Pistons Preseason Game With Ankle Injury

New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish suffered a left ankle sprain in Tuesday's preseason game against the Detroit Pistons and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest, the team announced.

Reddish notched three points, one rebound and one assist in 11 minutes before exiting.

The Knicks acquired Reddish from the Atlanta Hawks during the 2021-22 season in exchange for a first-round pick and Kevin Knox II.

Reddish appeared in just 15 games for the Knicks last season before suffering a shoulder injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the year. He wasn't a huge part of Tom Thibodeau's rotation, either, averaging just 6.1 points and 1.4 rebounds while shooting 41.5 percent from the floor in 14.3 minutes per game.

The 23-year-old was hampered by injuries over his first three NBA seasons. In addition to separating his shoulder after being traded to the Knicks, he has had groin, ankle and Achilles ailments.

Reddish hasn't played more than 58 games in a season.

In 133 games across three seasons, the Duke product is averaging 10.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists while shooting 38.7 percent from the floor and 32.5 percent from deep.

Reddish isn't expected to be a significant factor for the Knicks in 2022-23. He's buried on a depth chart that has R.J. Barrett and Quentin Grimes ahead of him. In addition, he was included in trade rumors over the summer, so it's possible he doesn't end the year in New York.

The Knicks have three more preseason games against the Indiana Pacers and Washington Wizards before kicking off the regular season on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies on Oct. 19.
