Eddy Curry, who's had a lost season, practiced in full with the team for the first time since Jan. 9 in Houston, the day after playing 2:38 in Dallas in his only action of the season. Curry has battled injuries to both knees along with a bevy of off-the-court issues since then and rarely has been spotted around the team.

His status always seems to be a question mark, and D'Antoni didn't even know Curry was going to practice until he saw him on the trainer's table. "I saw him getting taped and I said, 'Great,'" D'Antoni said. "That's good."

Curry seemed to get easily winded while scrimmaging. But although he may be rusty, he proved he's still got some moves. Once practice was over, he dodged the media by making a beeline for a side door to get some treatment and declined to come back out, leaving others to discuss how he looked.
