Knicks' Lance Thomas: Out Thursday with sore hip

Thomas will be unavailable for Thursday's tilt against the Trail Blazers due to a sore right hip.

Analysis:

This is the first news of Thomas having an injury, but it's apparently serious enough for him to sit out Thursday's contest even though it's being listed as just soreness. That being said, the Knicks are out of the playoff hunt and have seemingly little reason to play anyone with the possibility of making their injury worse. Kyle O'Quinn will likely be the main beneficiary of Thomas' absence.
