Knicks' Tim Hardaway jr out with a stress injury to his left shin

The New York Knicks will be without Kristaps Porzingis and Tim Hardaway jr. in the game against the Pacers.

Porzingis is out with an ankle sprain and illness.

Hardaway, as reported by ESPN, also didn't travel with the Knicks to Indianapolis due to a stress injury in his left shin. He was an unexpected scratch before tipoff due to the injury.

Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek said the team's medical staff tested Hardaway's injury due to lingering soreness and added that the staff will continue to monitor it.

Hornacek said Hardaway's ailment is unrelated to the left foot plantar fasciitis he played with earlier this month.

The club is hopeful that the shin injury will not sideline Hardaway for an extended stretch of games.
