Encouraging sign for Knicks' Tim Hardaway Jr.

Tim Hardaway Jr. shot around before the game, and he got a little more air under his feet on his jumpers and 3-point attempts than he did earlier in the week.

The Knicks' medical staff re-evaluated Hardaway's stress injury in his lower left leg Tuesday and said he has progressed to doing more court work.

"He's able to push off his leg a little bit," coach Jeff Hornacek said. "They've given him the green light for a little jumping. Not a big jump but a little jump. He was out there shooting a little bit today so that's a great sign."

Hardaway was wearing the brace when he shot and still hasn't been cleared for running. He missed his 10th consecutive game. The Knicks haven't given a timetable on when Hardaway could return. They said he will be re-evaluated next week.
