Grimes initially departed Game 3 in Madison Square Garden on Friday after injuring his shoulder and did not return.

Per Fred Katz of The Athletic (via Twitter), Grimes did not join the Knicks for his on-court warmup ahead of today’s contest after the team initially referred to him as a game-time decision.

The 6’5″ Grimes, a second-year wing out of Houston, had been struggling offensively across his first three postseason bouts. He’s averaging just 3.7 PPG on .182/.111/.857 shooting splits, along with 3.3 RPG, 1.0 APG, 1.0 SPG and 0.7 BPG.

That output marks a far cry from Grimes’ regular season output in 2022/23. In 71 games, he logged 11.3 PPG on .468/.386/.796 shooting.
