End of an error? Curry's season, maybe Knicks career, over
By Frank Isola
Eddy Curry will not play again for the Knicks this season and perhaps his career in New York is over as well for all we know.
Curry realized he was done for the year as recently as Friday in Phoenix if not earlier and the veteran center revealed his injury and status to reporters early today in Salt Lake City.
It was only after Curry provided a medical update that the team miraculously released a statement to announce that Curry “is not expected to return for the final 10 games of the season.”
You don’t say?
According to the Knicks Curry has a “torn myofascial band in his right calf.” He’s had it for a while. The Knicks have known this for a few days and had no intention of informing the press of Curry’s health.
So much for a reformed media policy. He’s an example of how much things have changed. When eavesdropping/spying on interviews involving the coaching staff and players, the media relations employee no longer records the interview by typing into a Blackberry. It is now done the old fashioned way with pen and paper. It’s still pretty creepy.
I wonder if Donnie Walsh is aware of this.
As for Curry, he’s only appeared in 10 games over the past two seasons and it’s hard to imagine that he’ll be back for the final year of his contract. By the way, Curry has already said he will not exercise the early termination clause in his contract. (The man may be hurting but he’s no dummy.)
Curry’s injury sounds legit even though as he tried to explain it three reporters (with two media employees hovering over him) Al Harrington began laughing.
“I swear I’m not making this up,” Curry said. “It’s a freak (injury). Stuff happens to me that I don’t understand.”
Curry apparently suffered the injury when rehabbing from knee surgery. When asked if he feels as if he’s played his final game for the Knicks, Curry replied: “No.”
