Toppin was hurt in the second quarter of the Knicks' 113-89 victory over Atlanta on Wednesday. The team ruled him out for the second half with a sore right knee, then said Thursday the injury was a non-displaced fracture in his right fibula head.

The Knicks said Toppin would be evaluated again in two to three weeks.

PHOENIX (AP) The hardest task these days for the Boston Celtics might be staying humble.

Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown each scored 25 points, Malcolm Brogdon added 16 off the bench and the rolling Celtics embarrassed the sloppy Phoenix Suns 125-98 on Wednesday night.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) When Detroit guard Corey Joseph tried to bear-hug Zion Williamson to prevent an easy transition layup, the New Orleans Pelicans' imposing star forward found a way to toss the ball in anyway as he was falling to the court.

After Williamson pulled himself up, he faced his teammates on the bench and bent over holding one hand, palm down, above the hardwood - the "too small" gesture.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Simone Fontecchio dunked with 1.4 seconds remaining off Nickeil Alexander-Walker's steal and the Utah Jazz beat the Golden State Warriors 124-123 on Wednesday night in a matchup of short-handed teams.
