Tyson Chandler, who’s been sick with the flu, will play in Game 2 of the New York Knicks-Miami Heat first-round playoff series Monday night, as he’s feeling better and his fever is down, Yahoo! Sports’ Marc Spears reports via Twitter.
Chandler played just 21 minutes in Game 1 and wasn’t very productive—he had no points and no blocks, as well as just three rebounds and two steals. Reports yesterday said that even if he plays in Game 2, he’d again be limited.
Point guard Baron Davis, whose back stiffened up in Game 1, is a game-time decision but says he’ll play tonight. Iman Shumpert tore his ACL on Saturday and is out for several months.
Meanwhile, after the Knicks suffered a huge, 100-67 loss in Game 1, star forwards and co-captains Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire got their teammates together for a private workout at a Miami gym Sunday night, the New York Post reports.
“We’re definitely not at a low,” Anthony said, per The Post. “We’re definitely still a confident team. We felt we didn’t play our game (Saturday) and we want to correct that. (Today’s) a new day. (Today’s) Game 2 and Round 2.”
Anthony had just 11 points on 3-for-15 shooting on Saturday but says he doesn’t have to have a huge offensive game for the Knicks to win.
“We’re all going to have to do it," Anthony said, according to The Post. “Everyone’s going to have to do a lot more due to the lack of players we’re going to have. We don’t know who is going to play. Everyone’s going to have to do a little more than what they’re doing right now."
