Things just keep on getting worse for the Knicks this season. Eddy Curry will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to his right knee. He played in 59 games (58 starts) for the Knicks this season and he averaged 13.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Curry shot 54.6% from the floor but only 62.3% from the free throw line. David Lee should benefit with more minutes due to Curry’s injury.

The Knicks will be without Stephon Marbury for the remainder of the season due to his bum ankle. He only played in 24 games (19 starts) for the Knicks this season and he averaged 33.5 minutes, 13.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game. This could be a blessing in disguise for the Knicks who will give young Nate Robinson the minutes he deserves.

Point guard Stephon Marbury will have surgery on Tuesday to correct a fractured bone spur in his left ankle. Marbury played in 24 games this season for the Knicks and he averaged 33.5 minutes, 13.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game. Marbury will likely be replaced in the starting lineup by Nate Robinson.

Second year forward Renaldo Balkman will miss at least the next four weeks with a stress reaction and cartilage injury to his right ankle.  Balkman played in 68 games as a rookie and he averaged 4.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game off the bench.  Balkman was going to be nothing more than a reserve this season so the Knicks probably won’t miss him that much while he is out.

Quentin Richardson will miss the remainder of the season after having back surgery.  That’s too bad because he’s really played well for the Knicks this season.  He played in 49 games this season and he averaged 33.1 minutes, 13.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.  His outside shooting will also be missed as he nailed 37.6% of his three-point shots this season.
