As the New York Knicks prepare for Game 5 against the Miami Heat, it's possible that point guard Jeremy Lin could take the court. It would certainly help, especially with the news that Baron Davis is going to require surgery on his knee. While the team is playing coy about whether Lin will make it back in time, fans can't help but wonder if this is the player that the Knicks need to get over the hump.

In the third quarter of Sunday's New York Knicks win over the Miami Heat, veteran point guard Baron Davis suffered a horrific knee injury (available to view after the jump, if you like awful things). He was taken off in a stretcher, and pretty much everyone watching knew that he had suffered a serious injury that would keep him out for quite some time. On Monday, we discovered the severity of the damage, and it's not good. As announced by the Knicks on Twitter , the MRI of Davis' right knee showed a partial tear of the patella tendon and complete tears of the MCL and ACL. Howard Beck of The New York Times followed up that recovery from that is typically 12 months , but even that seems optimistic considering Davis would be 34 at the time of that comeback, has suffered several other bad knee injuries in the past, and has been dealing with a bulging disc in his back. On top of that, he will be a free agent and is unlikely to have the support of a franchise during rehab. [ Marc J. Spears: Blake Griffin refuses to bend in Clippers' OT win ] In other words, we have probably seen the last of Baron Davis in the NBA. With that in mind, forgive me if the rest of this post sounds like a discarded verse from the Skid Row track "I Remember You" — from the day he first suited up for UCLA in 1997 to his last season with the Golden State Warriors in 2008, Davis was my favorite basketball player. While his career was near its end anyway, and he was unlikely to be any more than an adequate backup for several more seasons, it's still sad to say goodbye.

NEW YORK (AP) Baron Davis has torn the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his right knee, a potentially career-threatening injury for the Knicks' 33-year-old point guard.

The New York Knicks could be in real trouble after starting point guard Baron Davis dislocated his kneecap on Sunday (May 6). Playing against the Miami Heat in Game 4 of the first round series, Davis was driving to the hoop when he stepped wrong and immediately dropped to the floor. He had to get taken off the court on a stretcher, likely bringing an end to his postseason.

Backs against the wall, 13-game postseason losing streak in hand, the New York Knicks kept their memorable 2011-12 season alive with an 89-87 win on Sunday afternoon . In downing the Miami Heat, the Knicks staved off a sweep in the opening-round series, but in the meantime lost starting point guard Baron Davis in the process to a disturbing knee injury that could derail his career. Mike Bibby, as it stands, is the only active point guard on the team's roster now that Davis and rookie Iman Shumpert have gone down to knee injuries, unless second-year guard Jeremy Lin can return early from knee surgery he underwent in early April. The New York Daily News reported on Sunday night that this is a possibility. And for a team that has endured one of the more memorable (good and bad) 70-game runs in NBA history, its final soap opera might prove to be its most lasting, and perhaps its most damaging. Is it worth bringing Lin back for one game, after he tore his meniscus last March? Is it worth threatening the rehabilitation of a player the team will be banking on for hopeful years to come as someone to distribute the ball and balance the floor, for a game against one of the hottest teams in the league, on its home floor? We ask this still not knowing if Lin will play. The initial diagnosis for Lin placed his return potentially in the second round of the playoffs, and though at the time of Lin's injury the Knicks were on a winning run of sorts, overall the squad was reeling — a game under .500, with a playoff appearance in doubt. The idea that the Knicks could make it to the second round was borderline laughable at the time, so Lin's return was never really considered.

The New York Knicks' Baron Davis suffered a gruesome knee injury in the third quarter, which caused all eyes to turn to Jeremy Lin after the game. Lin is at the five-week mark since he had arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. He is currently a week shy of the anticipated timeframe for his return. Lin has been practicing and playing full-court scrimmages, so might he be ready to return for Game 5? "I can't really answer that," coach Mike Woodson said. ...

Jeremy Lin began jogging for the first time since his April 2 surgery to repair a small chronic tear in his left meniscus. The New York Knicks did not announce this update in his progress. Instead, Lin revealed it on his Twitter account after the Knicks' win. The initial timeframe for Lin's recovery was six weeks, which means he is at the halfway point. If he is to play again this season, the Knicks would likely have to reach the second round of the playoffs. The team has gone 10-5 in his absence with Baron Davis and Mike Bibby handling the point guard duties.
