As a result, Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, OG Anunoby, and Karl-Anthony Towns are all expected to sit out.
Mikal Bridges will be the only usual starter in the lineup, as he looks to extend his consecutive games played streak to 633. However, he is not expected to see significant minutes.
The Knicks secured the third seed with their win on Friday in their 81st game of the season, making Sunday’s regular-season finale largely inconsequential.
With the No. 3 seed locked in, New York will face the sixth seed in the playoffs, though their opponent has yet to be determined.
The Knicks currently hold a 53-28 record.
