Knicks’ Obi Toppin out at least 2-3 weeks with knee fracture

Obi Toppin is a fan favorite and Knicks faithful were hoping to see more of him as the season progresses.
However, they are not going to see any of him for at least the next 2-3 weeks due to a fractured knee, the team announced.
Obi Toppin sustained a non-displaced fracture in his right fibula head during last night’s game against Atlanta. He will be revaluated in 2-3 weeks.

Toppin suffered the injury in New York’s win Wednesday over Atlanta, the same game that saw Dejounte Murray sprain his ankle leading him to be out for a few weeks.
Toppin — the reigning All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk contest champion — is averaging 7.7 points in 25 games off the bench. With him out, coach Tom Thibodeau suggested he could lean more on RJ Barrett, asking him to play up at the four.
