The New York Knicks are hosting the Atlanta Hawks in New York City at Madison Square Garden on Christmas Day in a rematch of last year's first round series (the Hawks won in five games).  

For the game, they could be without one of their best players. 

Immanuel Quickley had been in health and safety protocols, and has missed the team's last three games. 

However, he has cleared protocols, but is listed as doubtful for the game because of conditioning.  

The tweets from FantasyLabs NBA with his status can be seen embedded below. 

The Knicks come into the game with a 14-18 record in 32 games this season after beginning their season 5-1.  

They have been underwhelming so far this season after going 41-31 last year to get the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference. 

  • DEROZAN PASSES JORDAN ON A LIST FOR THE BULLS: DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls have been on a roll to start the new season as one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. DeRozan is a four-time All-Star, and in his first season in Chicago, he recently passed Hall of Famer Michael Jordan on a franchise-record list. CLICK HERE.
  • STEPH AND THE WARRIORS ARE ON FIRE: The Golden State Warriors have not made the playoffs in two seasons, but that appears likely to change this season. They are on fire to start the season led by superstar guard Steph Curry and have one of the best records in the entire NBA. . CLICK HERE.
