NEW YORK — An ugly four months in the rearview and the play-in tournament still a real possibility, the Knicks returned two of their most important players to practice.
RJ Barrett and Derrick Rose, recovering from their respective ankle injuries, participated fully in Wednesday’s session and there’s optimism both could suit up in Friday’s game against the Heat.
Barrett, who suffered a sprained ankle about two weeks ago, acknowledged he’s playing through pain but hopes to “beat Miami.”
