Knicks Knacks

Jeffries is down

October

The sad thing is, he was playing well before hitting the floor in obvious pain.

Jared Jeffries drilled a baseline jumper, hustled back up the court and beat Richard Jefferson to the inbounds pass with 6:56 to play in the first quarter. They got tangled up, though, and Jeffries went down. He needed help to get off the court.

Right now, they’re calling it a sprained knee.

There are usually more tests in cases like this, but it seems the Knicks will be minus a versatile defender for a period of time. It’s a situation that would be a lot worse if Renaldo Balkman was not expected to be ready in time for the opener Friday in Cleveland.

Jeffries will definitely be missed. Hey Mike, this is off-topic, but can you tell me why Malik Rose is still on this team? Honestly, watching this game, I can’t really bring up a single positive thing he brings to the court. Is his veteran leadership/locker room presence that important?
