Knicks say Carmelo will be out for 1-2 weeks because of strained right groin. No other tests scheduled.
Bad news.

Knicks have no info on Stoudemire's return, but you can safely assume that he will not be playing in Washington tomorrow night.
The key to these guys being healthy is proper rest.
The kind of injuries these players are sustaining are all lockout related.
No access to trainers/med staff, no real practice or a training camp, games virtually every day is a recipe for disaster.
Luckily for our guys the injuries they have, in particularly Melo are the one that really just require rest and the training staff.
Comes down to the coach once again. Even the eye test can show that both Melo and Amare haven't been 100% this year. Let them rest. We played a handful of scrub teams. We could have sat them on the road games.
