Not starting Sunday Grimes (shoulder) has been cleared to suit up, but he won't start Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Heat on Sunday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Impact Grimes will return to action after missing the final two games of the opening-round series, but he'll operate off the bench as the Knicks opt to start Jalen Brunson, RJ Barrett, Josh Hart, Obi Toppin and Mitchell Robinson with Julius Randle (ankle) unavailable. Grimes came off the bench only five times during the regular season, and he didn't see more than eight minutes in any of those contests.

Says he'll play Sunday Grimes (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable, but he said he'll play in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Heat on Sunday, Ian Begley of SportsNet Ne...
Impact Grimes had previously said he expected to be ready for the series opener, so despite the questionable designation, this doesn't come as a surprise. He missed the final two games of the opening-round matchup versus Cleveland, but he figures to slide back into the starting lineup, especially with Julius Randle (ankle) unlikely to suit up. Heading into the playoffs, Grimes averaged 21.9 points over his final nine regular-season appearances, but he's totaled just 11 points over three playoff contests thus far.

Officially listed questionable Grimes (shoulder) is questionable for Game 1 versus the Heat on Sunday.
Impact While Grimes is officially listed, coach Tom Thibodeau said Saturday that he will play in Game 1 barring a setback, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports. The second-year guard missed the final two games of the Knicks' first-round matchup with Cleveland due to a right shoulder contusion.

Trending towards doubtful Grimes (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 versus Cleveland, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Impact Grimes is set to miss his second straight game, which should result in another start for Josh Hart and some extended minutes for Immanuel Quickley and Miles McBride. If the Knicks can't close out this First Round series Wednesday, Grimes' next chance to play will be Game 6 on Friday.

Questionable for Game 4 Grimes (shoulder) is questionable to play in Sunday's Game 4 against the Cavaliers.
Impact Grimes exited Friday's Game 3 after sustaining a bruised right shoulder and is at risk of also sitting out Game 4. If he were to miss, expect either Josh Hart or Immanuel Quickley to step into the starting lineup, while both would see expanded roles.

Explodes for season-high 36 points Grimes finished with 36 points (14-23 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three steals over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 138-129 win over the Pacers.
Impact For the second time this season Grimes topped 30 points, as he was one of three Knicks to reach the 30-point plateau Wednesday. The 2021 first-round pick has been excellent to close the season out. With the Knicks resting players, Grimes has been a top-20 fantasy option over the last two weeks in nine-category leagues. In his last seven games, Grimes is averaging 23 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.4 steals while drilling 5.7 threes per game.

Drops 27 in clincher Grimes finished Sunday's 118-109 win over the Wizards with 27 points (9-17 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 41 minutes.
Impact The Knicks clinched a playoff spot without RJ Barrett (illness) and Julius Randle (ankle) partially due to playing the Wizards but also because Grimes had a big night. He tied for the team lead in points while producing solid assist and three-point numbers. The former first round pick is averaging 20.8 points per game over the last six while shooting an even 50 percent from beyond the arc. With the Knicks just about locked into the five seed, Grimes could continue to see expanded opportunities to finish the season.

Just misses double-double Grimes amassed 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 137-115 win over the Rockets.
Impact The second-year guard came within one thin dime of recording his first career double-double. Grimes has scored in double digits in three straight games thanks to an incredible eruption from beyond the arc, as he's gone 15-for-29 on three-point attempts. That just builds on the growth in his shooting he's displayed since the All-Star break -- over the last 16 games, Grimes has averaged 2.5 threes a game while shooting 44.4 percent from long range.

Leads from deep in 25-point outing Grimes accumulated 25 points (10-18 FG, 5-10 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and three steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 111-106 loss to the Magic.
Impact Grimes led the team in threes made while finishing with a team-high-tying point total in a losing effort Thursday against Orlando. Grimes has tallied at least 20 points with five or more threes five times this season, including in two straight contests.

Bounces back Wednesday Grimes finished Wednesday's 127-120 loss to the Heat with 22 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes.
Impact Grimes was coming off five straight games with single-digit scoring outputs, but he made an unexpected impact as a perimeter shooter Wednesday. The 22 points tied his best total of the month, but aside from the three-pointers category, he offered little impact in other areas. Given his recent form prior to Wednesday's contest along with his lack of diverse statistical production, Grimes is tough to recommend as a pickup outside of deeper leagues, even while he continues to hold down a starting role.

Run of poor production continues Grimes logged four points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one block and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 123-107 win over the Trail Blazers.
Impact Though he continues to hold down a starting role, Grimes has been struggling to put up fantasy-friendly numbers and is starting to see his minutes dwindle at the expense of trade-deadline pickup Josh Hart. He's reached the 30-minute mark just once in his last 14 games, averaging 7.9 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.5 assists over that stretch while shooting 42.5 percent from the field.

Scores 22 against Brooklyn Grimes racked up 22 points (8-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 142-118 victory over Brooklyn.
Impact Grimes was efficient from the field and posted a solid scoring line, but he didn't contribute much in other categories. Grimes has gone seven straight starts without clearing the 30-minute mark, and his numbers have declined in that span, as he's averaging just 8.0 points per game.
