Ayton (knee) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Ayton's absence streak will extend to eight games Tuesday after being downgraded from doubtful to out with right knee tendinitis. Ayton's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with the Thunder. With Moses Brown (wrist) and Jabari Walker (knee) also sidelined, Duop Reath and Ibou Badji should handle increased roles in the frontcourt again.
