Tom Thibodo did not change his mind after being given a chance to review the decisive dishonesty he had called Julius Randle in the closing seconds of 76 seconds after the overall defeat on Sunday.
“I will let you guys determine this,” Thibodo told reporters after Monday’s practice.
After the game, Thibodo called a game-turning call – a loose-mouthed raft on Randall – “marginal contact” by Tobias Harris while going for a rebound to set up a go-ahead free throw.
Randall used more strong words in a brief postgame tarid, calling the play “blown call” and “f-ridiculous”.
Referee Courtney Kirkland told a pool reporter after the game that Thibodo did not challenge the call in the allotted time.
Asked if he would have heard from the league, Thibodo said: “I don’t want to finalize it.” Many things happened in that game, so I would not blame the officials for anything. If you are asking me if I agree with this? No, I did not, but this is life. You go ahead and prepare for the next game. “
The league confirmed Kirkland’s assessment in its two-minute report released on Monday, stating that Randall pushes “Harris” and calls Thibodo “timeout,” but during a single conversation with the referee, one Doesn’t prompt for a challenge … required by the rule. “
Emanuel Quickley and Mitchell Robinson are listed as potential for the first two home matches on Tuesday against Washington.
Robinson played in his first appearance on 17 February due to a broken hand since 12 February, but he lay on the bench in the fourth quarter after appearing to bend his ankle. Quick also returned to the lineup against Philadelphia after missing a game with an ankle.
Elfried Payton (hamstring) is suspicious, while Austin River (personal reason) remains outside.
Madison Square Garden announced that from April 1, ticket holders for the Knicks and Rangers can participate in the game with proof from a negative care antigen COVID-19 test or evidence from a health care provider of complete vaccination. Since 23 February, MSG has allowed fans with evidence of a negative PCR COVID-19 test.
