The Knicks were among the biggest winners at the trade deadline.
New York entered Thursday with a 33-18 record, good for fourth in the Eastern Conference standings. Rather than stand pat at the trade deadline, the front office made a big move by sending Quentin Grimes, Malachi Flynn, Evan Fournier, Ryan Arcidiacono and two second-round picks to Detroit for Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks.
Bogdanovic averaged 21.1 points on 41.3% shooting from 3 in his one and a half seasons with the Pistons, while Burks is a career 38.6% 3-point shooter. They will add to New York's depth and give the Knicks even more firepower on offense.
When will Knicks fans get their first look at Bogdanovic and Burks? Here's the latest on their status for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.

Are Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks playing tonight?
Knicks guard Josh Hart had a funny reaction to New York's trade on Thursday:
Boys better hope on that PJ and suit up 😂

Yet while the trade is now official and neither Bogdanovic nor Burks are on the injury report, it's hard to imagine either one of them playing in Thursday's game.
The Pistons were in Sacramento on Wednesday and face the Trail Blazers in Portland on Thursday. With the trade deadline ending at 3 p.m. ET and Knicks vs. Mavericks tipping off at 7:30 p.m. in New York, that's a very quick turnaround.
We will provide updates if Bogdanovic and Burks are made available.
