David Lee has been having an outstanding season for the New York Knicks, but his right knee has been bothering him lately and he is sitting out tonight’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers because of it. This is the first game of the season that Lee has missed, and he is being listed as day-to-day since it is just knee tendinitis. Tendinitis can linger for a while though, so it looks like Lee will have to play through some pain as the season winds down. It’s a shame, because Lee has been one of the few bright spots for the disappointing Knicks this season. He was named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team, and is averaging 20.1 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.04 steals, and 0.5 blocks. He has shot the ball great as well, hitting 55% from the field and 79% from the line. Lee’s injury is not a good sign for the Knicks, who are 24-44 on the season and are also without Eddy Curry (calf) and Wilson Chandler (groin), leaving their front court in disarray.
