Bouncing Back: Knicks’ Quentin Grimes Faces Shooting Slump Obstacle

Tom Thibodeau’s message to Quentin Grimes after his struggles: stay mentally tough and soldier on. Grimes has been struggling with his shooting, missing all five of his attempts from the field in the Knicks’ recent victory. Thibodeau emphasized the need for Grimes to not get too high or too low and to keep playing defense and running the floor, despite the ups and downs. Donte DiVincenzo has emerged as a strong performer, leading to a competition for playing time with Grimes. The Knicks signed DiVincenzo to a four-year, $47 million deal, despite Grimes previously being a starter. Veteran Josh Hart empathized with Grimes, acknowledging the frustration of a shooting slump. Grimes needs to find ways to stay involved and aggressive in the offense.
