1 player lands on Knicks’ injury report for Game 1 vs. 76ers

The New York Knicks will be facing off against the Philadelphia 76ers in the second round, and both teams will be looking to reach the Eastern Conference Finals. The Knicks were able to take down the Atlanta Hawks in six games, and it was the last three games of the series that showed who they really were. The other thing that helped the Knicks throughout the series was that they were healthy.

Coming into this series, Jeremy Sochan is listed on the injury report with left hamstring tightness, and it’s uncertain if he’ll be available.

Here is Sochan’s injury status ahead of Game 1.

Jeremy Sochan’s injury status vs. 76ers

Sochan is listed as probable against the 76ers, which means that he will most likely be available for the team if they need him. Sochan didn’t play much in the first round and only saw minutes in the last two games due to the game already being decided. He finished Game 5 with 10 points and Game 6 with four points.

If the matchup against the 76ers calls for Sochan to play, he’ll be ready when his number is called.

The Knicks will be going up against a 76ers team that was banged up throughout the season, but they were able to get back to full health late in their series against the Boston Celtics. That was due to the return of Joel Embiid, who had just gotten an appendectomy a few weeks ago.

Embiid was able to play in the final four games against the Celtics, and his presence was felt in all three, which helped them come back from a 3-1 deficit.

The Knicks will have to be prepared to go up against a talent like Embiid, and luckily, they have the players to match up with, such as Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson.
