New York Knicks rookie Quentin Grimes on Friday was spotted doing some on-court work with the team during shootaround prior to facing the Phoenix Suns.
Grimes, who suffered a subluxation of his right patella on Feb. 25, was ruled out for the next two weeks. He will not require surgery to address the injury after only experiencing slight ligament bruising, a positive development considering the timetable to return is typically 4-6 weeks.
The 25th pick traveled with the Knicks on their seven-game road trip that will take them through March 13 in Brooklyn. Grimes could be cleared to play by the end of the trip but that will be dependent on how he responds to treatment.

Grimes is averaging 6.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and one assist in 40 games on 39.8% shooting from 3-point range. He played sparingly to begin the season but has seen a more prominent role of late and even started the last four games prior to the All-Star break.
