Marc Berman's post on New York Knicks | Latest updates on Sulia

There isn't a guy you want to pull for more than Tyson Chandler as he awaits what is hopefully good news on his

left knee Thursday. He will take the MRI and Knicks doctors believe it is not an ACL tear or anything of that magnitude. But a knee sprain is still lousy considering how depleted the Knicks are. If Camby and Rasheed were healthy and playing in preseason and Stoudemire wasn't laid up, the Chandler injury would not be that big a deal. Instead, losing him for a week or two is devastating. Neither Camby nor Wallace played in preseason so even if they dress in the opener, how effective will they be? Chandler was told to use the crutches until he takes the MRI. The storyline entering preseason was can the elderly Knicks stay healthy. The answer so far is a resounding no. Even the coach showed up with a cut above his left eye. Oh, the karma.
