Hardaway Jr. Leaves Game With Concussion
Wednesday, Dec. 31
According to Michael Scotto of SheridanHoops.com, the second-year player has what is being characterized as a "very mild" concussion:
The injury was suffered during a 99-78 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, which dropped the Knicks to a disappointing 5-29.
Hardaway is the Knicks' third-leading scorer at just over 11 points per game, and things figure to get even tougher for New York if he is forced to sit out any additional contests.
This season has already gotten away from the Knicks, though, which means they are likely to approach this situation quite cautiously.
