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. ...

This is not a day to disparage a New York Knick team for which expectations were so high. This is not a day to lament the loss of another Knick trooper to injury, leaving coach Mike Woodson to search vainly down the bench for a player who can handle the ball.

Another day, another guy with a busted left hand returning to his team's starting lineup way sooner than expected. On Saturday, it was Caron Butler playing with a fractured fifth metacarpal in the Los Angeles Clippers' Game 3 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. On Sunday, it's Amar'e Stoudemire, who will take his lacerated and stitched-up mitt into a win-or-go-home Game 4 against the Miami Heat. Rumors of Stoudemire re-entering the New York lineup, which had rumbled for several days, were confirmed just over an hour before the scheduled 3:30 p.m. Eastern tipoff of Game 4 . New York enters the contest in an 0-3 hole against the defending Eastern Conference champions; one more loss sends the Heat into the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the Knicks home for the summer. Stoudemire suffered a bad cut on his left hand when he punched a fire extinguisher case near the locker room of the AmericanAirlines Arena after New York's Game 2 loss in Miami on Monday night. After missing Thursday's Game 3 loss , which pushed his seventh-seeded Knicks team to the brink of elimination Sunday, Stoudemire practiced Friday, saying he's "been blessed" with the capacity to heal quickly and upgrading himself from "out" to "doubtful" for Game 4. Knicks interim coach Mike Woodson wasn't hearing that "doubtful" business, though. He said Friday that he thought Stoudemire would play in Game 4, tabbing the Knicks' $100 million man as a game-time decision. He proclaimed Stoudemire ready to go on Sunday afternoon, though, telling reporters before the game that Amar'e will "he'll be fine," according to MSG Network's Alan Hahn . "If it opens up, we'll stitch him back up and play," Woodson said.
