New York Knicks fans are holding their collective breath as they wait for news on the health of All-Star forwards Amare Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony.
Stoudemire is out indefinitely after an MRI on Monday revealed a bulging disc in his back, and CBS Sports’ Ken Berger offers this ominous report: “Word on whether Stoudemire will need season-ending surgery could come as early as Tuesday, when he meets in Miami with a consultant who worked with him on his back during the lockout.”
Asked if Stoudemire would be back for the playoffs, which begin in a month, Knicks coach Mike Woodson said, "I don't know."
Anthony, meanwhile, tweaked his groin in the third quarter of Monday night’s win over the Bucks. He believes he’ll be able to play Wednesday against the Magic, but a strained groin on Feb. 6 kept him out of seven games during the Linsanity run. Anthony, however, said that the more recent injury is not as serious, and he is officially listed as questionable for Wednessay night.
"I don't think it's too bad; I just want to take it day by day," Anthony said, per ESPN.com. "(Tuesday, I'll) get re-evaluated and see what happens from there. ... It aches a little bit right now. If I had to play tomorrow, I probably would.”
Additionally, Jeremy Lin sat out of the Bucks game and is also questionable with a sore right knee.
