After all, in his only two playoff appearances (15 games total), the former No. 7 pick has shot just 34.4 percent from the field and 28.3 percent from 3-point range while averaging 17.1 points per game (he averaged 24.7 points per game in the regular season those years).</p><p>In the 2023 NBA Playoffs, Randle might have had a bit more of an excuse, as he suffered an ankle injury prior to the end of the 2022-23 season but battled through the pain in order to suit up for the Knicks that postseason. Despite aggravating the injury in Game 5, the Knicks took down the Cleveland Cavaliers in the First Round. They then fell to the eventual Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat in the semifinal round, a series in which the aggressive big man seemed to settle for a lot of tough jumpers though he refused to say his injury affected his performance.</p><p>While his performance earned the ire of the Knicks fan base, his toughness and competitiveness weren’t lost on his teammates.</p><p>“It just really shows you that <a href="https://www.sny.tv/articles/knicks-quentin-grimes-offers-thoughts-on-busy-offseason-upcoming-season" rel="noopener">nobody should ever be questioning</a> his toughness, how much he wants it, how much he cares about the team, how much he cares about winning,” teammate Quentin Grimes tells SNY insider Ian Begley as they discuss Randle playing through injury in the postseason. “I think there’s a certain narrative around him, which I think is total b******t honestly. He cares a lot about this team.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Julius Randle on IG: “Getting back to it 💪🏿” <a href="https://t.co/1bBKRqdlbX">pic.twitter.com/1bBKRqdlbX</a></p><p>— New York Basketball (@NBA_NewYork) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA_NewYork/status/1684273795995934721?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 26, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Randle, now 28-years-old, recently posted an offseason workout video on Instagram as he prepares for his 10th career season.</p><p>To be frank, more commitment to the defensive end, better ball-movement and little less settling for jumpers in general could go a long way for the Texas native in his efforts to lead his team to more wins.</p><p>Nonetheless, as Grimes notes, nobody should ever question just how much Randle actually cares about winning.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Brunson was brilliant, just as he’s been all playoffs; his heroic 38 points, nine rebounds and seven assists represent one of the best performances in Knicks playoffs history. Still, it was Grimes who made the biggest play of the game, stonewalling and then stripping Jimmy Butler with 1:40 left in the fourth quarter, just seconds after seemingly injuring his knee on a Bam Adebayo screen. Although Grimes scored just eight points, his rousing, one-legged <a href="https://twitter.com/sny_knicks/status/1656494061367312391" rel="noopener">steal</a> of Butler to protect a narrow six point lead is the kind of play that would become instantly iconic if the Knicks come back to win the series.</p><p>“It’s the playoffs,” Quentin Grimes said after the game. “You gotta do whatever you can to win. It’s what you’re built for, it’s what you watch as a kid. I was hurt a little bit, but it’s not going to stop me from doing whatever I can to either get a stop or just disrupt the play like how I came up the steal. I knew I just had to fight through it and help the team get a win.”</p><p>While Grimes injured his shoulder in the first round of the playoffs against the Cavs and came off the bench to play just 19.3 minutes per game for the first three games of the Heat series, he’s regained his spot in the Knicks’ starting lineup in the last two games. In Game 4, Grimes played 42 minutes, which he would then top by playing all 48 in Game 5. In doing so, Grimes became just the third Knick to play all 48 minutes of a game in the playoffs, joining Stephon Marbury and Brunson.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

New York knocked out the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round to advance in the postseason. The Knicks will now<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-x-factor-vs-heat-in-2023-nba-playoffs-and-its-not-julius-randle" rel="noopener"> take on the surging Miami Heat</a> for the right to advance to the Conference Finals. However, they might not have one of their key players ready. Fans are asking this important question: Is Quentin Grimes playing tonight vs. the Heat?</p><h2>Quentin Grimes injury status vs. Heat</h2><p>Unfortunately for the Knicks, Quentin Grimes might still not be available to play against the Knicks. The <a href="https://official.nba.com/nba-injury-report-2022-23-season/" rel="noopener">latest injury report</a> lists the young guard as questionable due to a shoulder injury. This is the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-quentin-grimes-playing-vs-cavs-game-4" rel="noopener">same injury he suffered</a> during Game 3 against the Cavs. That injury kept him out for a good chunk of the series.</p><p>Quentin Grimes is expected to be one of the many defenders the Knicks will try to throw at Jimmy Butler in their playoff series. He’s been a non-factor on offense so far, but his defense on Donovan Mitchell was important too. Josh Hart is the best defender the team has, but you can’t expect a player to take on a player as physical as Jimmy for 48 minutes.</p><p>Unfortunately, Grimes’ injury isn’t the only thing the Knicks are worried about. Earlier this day, the team has seemingly ruled out star forward Julius Randle due to his own injury. The team has done surprisingly well without Randle, but they will eventually need his scoring to take them deep into the playoffs.</p><p>Thankfully for the Knicks, Grimes confirmed later in the day that he’ll be playing in Game 1. The hope is that the guard will regain his shooting while still playing great man-to-man defense against the potent Heat offense.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Quentin Grimes says he’s playing today.</p><p>— Ian Begley (@IanBegley) <a href="https://twitter.com/IanBegley/status/1652704253658447872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 30, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>So, to answer the question: Is Quentin Grimes playing tonight vs. the Heat?

There is a whole new perception around the franchise, and whole new expectations to go with it. That is amplified now that they will be playing the No. 8 seed Miami Heat.</p><p>However, there are key players injured who might be needed to keep these good times rolling.</p><p>Julius Randle aggravated his lingering ankle injury in Game 5 while Quentin Grimes suffered a shoulder injury that sidelined him for part of Game 3 and all of Game 4. There are <a href="https://twitter.com/NickFriedell/status/1651999557369180183?s=20" rel="noopener">encouraging updates</a> for both, albeit of varying degrees of optimism.</p><p>Randle went through a light practice Friday, but head coach Tom Thibodeau is hopeful he will be ready for Sunday’s Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, per ESPN’s Nick Friedell. The prognosis for Grimes <a href="https://twitter.com/IanBegley/status/1651997461823598609" rel="noopener">seems more clear</a> as he went through a complete practice and is “feeling good,” according to Ian Begley of SNY.</p><p>Randle has had a stellar season before being slowed by injury. The addition of Jalen Brunson allowed him to excel as an inside-out scorer (25.1 points and 10 rebounds per game). Miami can lack offense when Jimmy Butler is not taking over games (though, that seems to happen quite often), so a healthy Randle could be enough ammunition to overcome a top-notch defense.</p><p>If he comes back below 100 percent, then there is a risk that the All-Star could again be benched because of poor production. The Knicks have rallied without him, but their full compliment of talent will be needed against a battle-tested postseason team.</p><p>Grimes has been an underrated part of this group’s success. He is enjoying a career year, averaging 11.3 points on a 46.8 field goal percentage and 38.6 percent from behind the 3-point line in the regular season. Thibodeau also relies on his defense. Both he and Josh Hart could be spending a lot of time trying to contain Butler.</p><p>Fans will have to wait a bit longer for concrete answers, but at the very least both of these players are trending in an upward direction, especially Grimes. Game 1 might have to be played at less than full strength, but the Knicks have defied the odds all season long.</p><p>No one will count them out so easily again.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Grimes is dealing with a right shoulder contusion, while Sims has a sore right shoulder. Grimes has started in all three games he’s played in this series against the Cavs but has made a minimal impact offensively, going 2-11 from the field and 1-9 from 3-point range in that time.</p><p>The question is this though: <b>Is Quenton Grimes playing tonight vs. the Cavs?</b></p><p><b><i>*Watch NBA games LIVE with fuboTV </i></b><a href="https://www.fubo.tv/stream/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408" rel="noopener"><b><i>(click for a free trial)*</i></b></a></p><h2><b>Quentin Grimes injury status vs. Cavs</b></h2><p>Given Quentin Grimes is questionable on the injury report, his game-time status might be known closer to tip-off, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Grimes, though having a slow start on the offensive end, has still played strong on defense with three steals and a pair of blocks in 62 total minutes.</p><p>Furthermore, this will be a big-time matchup between the Knicks and the Cavs, simply because it’s a potential elimination game for Cleveland. A team that’s impressed behind the relatively surprising play of  Jalen Brunson and All-Star forward Julius Randle. However, with Randle still hobbled from an ankle injury he suffered prior to the postseason, the Knicks have leaned increasingly on Brunson and fellow fan favorite RJ Barrett.</p><p>That said, if Grimes can return and play tough defense against the Cavs star backcourt, then they certainly stand an even better chance of defeating Cleveland. Especially as Grimes will likely return to form as a shooter sooner rather than later, as he shot 38.6 percent from 3-point range in the 2022-23 regular season and shoots 38.4 percent from deep for his career.</p><p>Unfortunately for Knicks fans, Grimes has now been <a href="https://twitter.com/FredKatz/status/1651349583023202304">downgraded to out</a>, per Knicks beat reporter Fred Katz of The Athletic.</p><p>So, when it comes to the question of <b>if Quentin Grimes is playing tonight vs. the Cavs</b>, the answer is no.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While the Knickerbockers handily won the regular season series against their Eastern Conference foe three games to one, shooting guard Quentin Grimes is already scheming up ways to defend the Cavs come playoff time and, in specific, how to try and contain All-Star <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-donovan-mitchell-reacts-jalen-brunson-crazy-stretch" rel="noopener">Donovan Mitchell</a>.</p><p>In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUN5rcavgyw" rel="noopener">media session held on April 5</a>, when asked by a reporter what the “challenge” of guarding a guy like Mitchell is and what he needs to do differently in the playoffs against him, New York’s sophomore talent didn’t mince words about his preparation heading into their upcoming rematch.</p><p>“He can do a lot with the ball. He can shoot the ball from super deep out so you gotta pressure him up or you just kind of got to lock in. I’ll watch more film for sure. You gotta just watch his latest game because he’s been on a tear these past four, five games. So we just gotta watch more film to see what I did wrong [in our last matchup] and just kind of make corrections and hopefully we can prepare better for him when we see them in the playoffs,” Quentin Grimes said on Donovan Mitchell.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">What a duel tonight in Cleveland 🤯</p><p>Donovan Mitchell:<br>42 PTS, 4 REB, 5 AST, 6 3PM</p><p>Jalen Brunson:<br>48 PTS (career-high), 4 REB, 9 AST, 7 3PM</p><p>Knicks came away with the W <a href="https://t.co/bF5sYDm1c9">pic.twitter.com/bF5sYDm1c9</a></p><p>— NBA (@NBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1641990429305339909?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 1, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Despite the fact that the Knicks won their season series against Cleveland, Donovan Mitchell still proved himself to be an all-out handful for the club to try and contain.

With the Knicks missing a number of key players Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers on the road, Grimes stepped up big time to help carry most of the load for the team in a 138-129 victory.</p><p>Quentin Grimes finished the game with a career-high 36 points, six rebounds, and five steals, while also knocking down a total of five 3-pointers. No Knicks player <a href="https://twitter.com/statmuse/status/1643787475851124738" rel="noopener">since 2007</a> had put together that kind of stat line in a single game until Wednesday when Grimes had his way from start to finish against the Pacers (h/t StatMuse).</p><p>Grimes shot 14-for-23 from the floor and also went 3-for-4 from the foul line. Together with Quickley, Grimes relentlessly roasted Indiana. Quickley had a magnificent performance of his own, as he ended up with 39 points on 14-for-26 shooting from the floor to go with six rebounds, nine assists, and two steals in 40 minutes.</p><p>The former Houston Cougars star has been balling out of late for the Knicks. Including the Pacers game, Quentin Grimes has scored at least 23 points in three of his last four outings. Last Sunday, he dropped 27 points with five assists and two rebounds in a win against the Washington Wizards at Madison Square Garden.</p><p>The Knicks played the Pacers <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-is-rj-barrett-playing-vs-pacers-2" rel="noopener">without</a> Jalen Brunson, RJ Barrett, and Julius Randle, but still managed to extend the team’s undefeated streak to five games. Quentin Grimes and the Knicks will play the New Orleans Pelicans on the road next on Friday before concluding their regular-season schedule at home with another meeting with the Pacers on Sunday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
