Obi Toppin has cleared health and safety protocols and is back with the Knicks.

Toppin had been placed in protocols on Dec. 12, and has missed the Knicks' last five games.

The second-year big man was averaging 10.3 points per game on 51.6 percent shooting in his last 12 contests before being put into protocols.

RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Quentin Grimes, Miles McBride, Kevin Knox, and Nerlens Noel are still out due to COVID.

The Knicks are scheduled to face the Washington Wizards on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at MSG.
