- The New York Knicks will be without Jalen Brunson, Deuce McBride, and Cam Payne, their top three point guards, for Friday's game at Milwaukee, a potential playoff preview.
- Brunson is out for his 11th straight game due to a sprained right ankle sustained during the March 6 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, while McBride is sidelined with a left groin injury and has missed the last three games.

- Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau indicated that veteran Delon Wright, who joined the team last month, would be a point guard option, while rookie Tyler Kolek from Marquette, who played in college in Milwaukee and has played 19 minutes in each of the last two games, could potentially get his first NBA start.
