Knicks’ Walsh: Curry won’t play until he shapes up
Posted by rsanrel on October 7th, 2009
Eddy Curry may have shed close to 40 pounds in the offseason, but he has not shed his image as a player too out of shape to help the Knicks.
Curry is not in acceptable playing condition. For now, that is the official conclusion of the Knicks coaching and management staff as Knicks president Donnie Walsh announced Tuesday that Curry would not be back on the practice floor until trainers got him into better playing shape.
“While he did a lot this summer, he’s not ready to go out there and play at NBA speed,” Walsh said. “We’re going to take longer and get him out there, because every time the comes out on the floor, he pulls a muscle.”
Curry injured himself on the first day of training camp seven days ago when he tore the plantaris muscle in his right calf. The team had made it seem that it was possible that he would return to practice with his teammates Tuesday. Now, even though the team isn’t all that concerned with this specific injury, there is no timetable for his return.
“Once you get in the game, you have to be game ready,” Walsh said. “I don’t think he’s going to be game ready for awhile.”
