The Knicks got good news regarding Kemba Walker’s knee.

There’s nothing amiss with his arthritic left knee that would require surgery. He just needs more rest after going through an arduous six-game stretch that included a back-to-back set last week in Minnesota and Detroit. Walker didn’t play any back-to-backs last season with the Celtics.

Tom Thibodeau said the results are good news, though Walker sat out of the Knicks 104-94 win over the Pacers, his third straight game, and was listed as day-to-day.

Walker was shut down for the Oklahoma City game on Friday during pregame warm-ups and didn’t go to Toronto as he went for tests in New York with his knee not feeling right.

“Yeah, it came back positive, so just general soreness,’’ Thibodeau said referring to the knee exams. “So, it’ll be day-to-day. We want everything to calm down with him.”

However, the Knicks know there’s never anything certain regarding Walker’s health — or Derrick Rose’s for that matter. Walker probably won’t play back-to-backs any longer when he returns.

Meanwhile, Rose is out until late February after undergoing ankle surgery last month. The point guard position could be an issue for now.

That is why they are still planning to bringing on former gritty Villanova star point guard Ryan Arcidiacono. That’s likely to happen when 10-day contracts can be offered Thursday

They are no longer allowed to sign the former Bull as a hardship COVID-19 case because they are all out of protocols. So Arcidiacono’s entry has been delayed.

He played four seasons with the Bulls before going to Celtics training camp in October, getting cut and winding up with their G-League team.

On a Zoom call Tuesday night, Jay Wright, who coached Arcidiacono from 2013-16, sounded excited. Wright said he’s reached out to his former point guard.

“I saw the rumor, so I said is this true?’’ Wright said. “He said yes and I was like, ‘That’s awesome man. I’m psyched for you.’ ”

Wright and Knicks president Leon Rose are close.

“We always talk in the summer when we see each other about basketball and players,’’ Wright said. “Leon looks at the game very similar to what Ryan does. He likes tough-minded, unselfish talented, team players. I know Tom Thibdodeau does also. Those two are a great pair. I know Ryan will fit into that culture extremely well and he’s proud to be a part of it.

“I’m a closet Knicks fan from being up there [in Hofstra] all those years. I love my Sixers, but I’m real excited. And Ryan is excited to be part of that organization.’’

Arcidiacono started six games for the Maine Red Claws, averaging 12.7 points, eight assists, and 5.7 rebounds. He started four years at Villanova where he helped win an NCAA title in 2016 by dishing the game-winning assist to Kris Jenkins to beat North Carolina. The Knicks believe the 27-year-old can serve as a capable backup.

Thibodeau couldn’t comment until the signing is official. He said he still likes what he’s got at point guard with Alec Burks, Immanuel Quickley and rookie Miles McBride but admitted they could use more.

“I like the versatility,” Thibodeau said. “We got Alec. We have Deuce. We got Quick. I feel like we have versatility, but you’re always looking to add people, playmaking. Whatever we have, we have to take advantage.”

When Walker will be back still is unclear, but Arcidiacono could make it less urgent.

The Knicks have had four back-to-back sets and Walker has played two of them. The last being the Minnesota-Detroit exact on Dec. 27 and 28. Since his resurrection in Boston on Dec. 18, Walker had averaged 35.2 minutes in six games

Walker is averaging 13.6 points, 3.6 assists and 3.5 assists. He shot 41.4 percent from the field and 40.3 from 3-point range.
