After being kicked by a horse, Jared Jeffries will return to the Knicks line up tonight in limited minutes for his season debut.
“There is a lot more that ails the 8-10 Knicks than what the 6-foot-11 Jared Jeffries can cure, but at least it’s a start in the Knicks’ trying to get back their health and competitiveness. Jeffries, who broke his leg on the third day of training camp, is expected to make his season debut tonight when the decimated club faces the Hawks at Atlanta’s Philips Arena. Jeffries expects to play about 15 minutes off the bench and would give the Knicks the size they have lacked all season. Though the Knicks still are decimated in the backcourt, president Donnie Walsh said he believes the Knicks’ injuries up front have been an overlooked factor.”
