Hello and welcome to another edition of the Nix Film School pregame show.

My name is Andrew Claudio, aka GMAC, and it's time to preview the next upcoming matchup on Thursday

night against the Dallas Mavericks. Who knows who might play for the Knicks in this matchup?

I'll start here. The injury report was already released on Wednesday night. Jalen Brunson

is listed as questionable, so we'll see if he suits up against his old team, has not defeated his old team yet since coming to the Knicks.

So we'll see what happens as far as Jalen Brunson is concerned.

Josh Hart is not on the injury report.

That is, when I talk about an Iron Man, that is a guy that is intent on making sure he can play no matter what.

O.G. Ninobe is out and the designation is no longer, the injury is not listed as elbow

inflammation. There are now some bone spurs we have to worry about. Bone spur irritation.

For those that don't know what that means. There's a really good article.

I'm going to pull it up real quick.

I should also just mention that Quentin Grimes is listed as out.

And then obviously Julius Randall is listed as out.

On the website in street clothes, I tweeted out the link earlier.

A guy named Jeff Stats that is like a personal trader or used to be a personal trainer,

add some context to what OG and Iobie might be dealing with.

Apparently, this is something that Carmelo Anthony dealt with. If you get a surgery in season, it's not super invasive.

So he could miss anywhere from like 20 to 30 days, not 20, 30 games.

So I wouldn't be surprised if Ananovi is seeing a specialist right now to just see what his

options are, especially headed into free agency. Regardless, this was the most alarming of

designations for Ananovi that we've gotten so far.
