Rangers put K’Andre Miller on injured reserve in blow to defense
NY Post
The Rangers defense has changed dramatically within just one week.
K’Andre Miller was placed on injured reserve on Friday with an upper-body injury.
He won’t join the team for the start of its three-game road trip, which starts on Sunday after Saturday’s clash against the Kings at home, and is required to miss at least seven days.
Miller exited the Rangers’ 3-2 win over the Sabres on Wednesday with the injury, though it’s unclear when it occurred.
He was hit hard by Jordan Greenway in the second period but he continued playing the rest of the period. He then didn’t come out for the third period, though.
Coupled with the decision to trade Jacob Trouba to the Ducks, the Rangers have now lost two players who were considered defensive mainstays right as they try to get their season back on track.
SAN FRANCISCO — Landry Shamet returned from a 25-game absence and scored six points in 16 minutes in the Knicks’ 126-113 loss to the Warriors on Thursday night.
SAN FRANCISCO — Jalen Brunson’s troublesome right ankle cost him a high-profile showdown.
The Giants’ agreement with John Harbaugh to become their next head coach was inside the 1-yard line and up to the lawyers to run a successful Tush Push.
EDMONTON, Alberta — Put this one on the Vezina Trophy résumé for Ilya Sorokin.
Mike Tomlin offered a heartfelt parting message to DeMeco Ryans on Monday night after coaching what would be his final game for the Steelers.
SACRAMENTO — Jalen Brunson’s Achilles heel is his right ankle.
What the Mets won’t offer in contract length, they’re more than making up for in just how much they are willing to pay Kyle Tucker in a short span.
Perhaps Kirk Cousins sees the writing on the wall.
The booing, after each of the four Senators goals and whenever else the Rangers play warranted it, said it all. So did the cheers — the mock ones unleashed in the Garden when the public address announcer issued the one-minute remaining warning in the first period.
SACRAMENTO — Mike Brown called out Karl-Anthony Towns for a lazy play.
It wasn’t devastating for Scott Morrow. He knew he had to earn his spot, that nothing would be handed to him. He wanted to make the Blueshirts roster, sure, but he didn’t necessarily expect it.
The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry is alive and well.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Relocated across the country, Precious Achiuwa said he’s in a role better suited to his playing style and it’s unfair to judge the aptitude of a Knicks bench last season that was ranked last in both points scored and minutes played.
