When the New York Knicks captured the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) Championship at Madison Square Garden on June 13, ending a 53-year title drought, one of the unsung heroes in the team’s historic victory was Jamaican-born orthopaedic surgeon Dr Answorth Allen.

The New York Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs, 90 – 94 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals to take the coveted title.

For two decades, Davis has been keeping the Knicks players in good physical health,  repairing torn ligaments, managing complex fractures, and ensuring that they can take the court night after night.
