30-year old forward Jared Jeffries will likely be out at least the next two weeks due to inflammation in his right knee.  Jeffries has played in 33 games (4 starts) for the Knicks so far this year and he is averaging 20.3 minutes, 4.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game.  The Knicks are going to miss Jeffries’ defense while he is out of action.
