Another test. Another loss. Another reminder of where the Knicks stand against the NBA’s elite. New York’s season-worst 142-105 defeat at the hands of the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers was more than just a bad night.

X-rays didn't reveal any structural damage to his index finger, but he has yet to be given the green light to play Sunday. Evan Mobley would likely draw the start at center if Allen can't play, while Dean Wade and De'Andre Hunter could both be in line to see added minutes in the frontcourt.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is expected to undergo an MRI on Saturday, one day after injuring his right hand during the team's lopsided 142-105 rout of the visiting New York Knicks. Allen told reporters that he sustained the injury while either attempting to block a shot or make a dunk during the first half.
