This just in from Knicks pre-camp:
New York Knickerbockers President of Basketball Operations and Head Coach Isiah Thomas announced today that forward Renaldo Balkman has a stress reaction and a small cartilage injury in his right ankle confirmed by an MRI. The second-year Staten Island-native will be fitted for a walking boot and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
I hate stress reactions. I wish nothing but bad things upon them. This best not be another example of the Knicks' training staff screwing things up. At least they're making the right move and getting Humpty off the court for the time being. Hopefully this doesn't carry over into the season.
