Woodson: We have to wait on Bargnani

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 25 Januari 2014 | 18.18

Mike Woodson shed little light on the Andrea Bargnani timetable and wouldn't guarantee when or if he will be back this season. The plan is for Bargnani to rehab for several weeks and hope the ligament tear in his left elbow heals properly.

Surgery, a season-ending procedure that takes close to a year to heal, usually is not required for basketball players. When asked, before Carmelo Anthony's extraordinary effort in the Knicks' 125-96 win over the Bobcats, if Bargnani would eventually need surgery, Woodson wouldn't completely rule it out.

"I really don't know that right now,'' Woodson said.

The Knicks announced Bargnani is out "indefinitely,'' continuing their hard-luck season of injury after injury. An elbow surgeon from Northwestern University told The Post the standard ligament tear normally takes between three and six weeks of rest and physical therapy and surgery isn't usually required.

"We just got to nurse him back and welcome him back when he's ready to come back,'' Woodson said. "He can't go. We just got to wait and nurse him back.''


Metta World Peace was back in uniform Friday, though he did not play, after missing nearly a month because of an arthritic left knee. But the flaky forward didn't miss a beat in joining in on the critique of the Knicks' coaching. Apparently it has become the chic thing to do, and World Peace hasn't been thrilled with his playing time when healthy.

"The personnel is here,'' World Peace said. "I think a lot of it has to do with coach [Woodson]. Coach has to make adjustments. On the [Texas] trip and new year we played well. Coach has to find his unit and stick with it.''
