It's just an update for those that are pining for any and all Knicks info, like us.
Nothing to be too concerned about, I don't think. Definitely not on par with the severity of Bynum's injury.
A strained calf and a rolled ankle. With the professionals the Knicks have that make a living out of rehabilitating pro sports injuries, this really means d*ck all.
as long as they are minor injuries, i wouldn't worry
And here we go
This is where having the oldest team in NBA history will seriously hurt. Especially the front court.
One or two injuries and we will have to play Kurt Thomas or Rasheed Wallace 35+ minutes, or go very undersized lineup. Which is not a good plan. Especially in the post season.
I think we really needed some, young big man. Anyone. would have been a serious help
this isnt surprising and nothing to worry about the guys are being pushed harder than they have been all summer so theres going to be a little straining and soreness here and there especially with the older fellows. im looking forward to healthy no bull season.
I ain't worried about nothin, Camby, we know he's gonna get injured. Calf strain is soft but it's not a big deal. The Big Feller will be back with anger in his brain.
Old York Knicks
“The doctors are erring on the side of caution,’’ Camby said. “They don’t want me to go out there and hurt myself even further. [Andrea] Bargnani went through a similar thing last year — in and out of the lineup.’’
The Knicks desperately needed a backup for Chandler and pursued Camby aggressively. Part of the Knicks’ reasoning was to keep him away from the arch-rival Heat. In fact, Knicks assistant general manager Allan Houston, Camby’s old teammate, is credited for talking him out of signing with Miami, reminding him he has Knick blood in him.
“We’re still trying to be very cautious about his injury,’’ coach Mike Woodson said. “No need to rush him.’

Just got in knicks practice. Marcus Camby is participating.
camby should be good to go friday
Evening, jimmies. The Knicks practiced today after taking Tuesday to rest, and the big news is that Marcus Camby finally got to play some basketball. Today was his first day scrimmaging with the rest of the bros, which resulted in scenes like this one, via Jake Appleman:
The Prigioni/Sheed high p/r with a Camby duck-in. I might bid on a Bill Clinton saxaphone.
Yes. Yes. I like this. Meanwhile, Camby said afterward that he felt fine, and, in fact, has felt fine this whole time:
"I was ready to play in the Miami game, but I don't make those decisions," he said. "I just have to be ready when my name is called."
...
"I practiced last week, too, and I felt I could have helped the team," he said. "But now, we know the schedule is Friday then Tuesday, so we'll get good practice in."
That's good to hear, and yet I still think it was wise of Mike Woodson to sit Camby until he'd gotten to spin with his teammates in a controlled environment. It's crazy, but New York's system at the moment is a well-oiled machine, and you can't just toss in a new cog without testing it out first.
Anyway, I imagine we'll be seeing Camby in the near future. If not Friday, then certainly by next Tuesday. I'm excited what he can add and how the rotation shifts to include him.
I also hope his new responsibilities won't deter him from making hysterical troll faces while on the bench. That'd be a shame.
