Wallace ready to return?

Last evening as the Knicks battled the Wizards, Rasheed Wallace missed his 25th consecutive game due to his foot injury.  Wallace's return seems to be near and yesterday he spoke of how it kills him not to be on the court.

“I’m real anxious, to be honest,’’ Wallace said. “ Sometimes sitting on the sidelines, watching the guys, is killing me. I feel like at certain points of the game, I could’ve gotten that rebound. Or I would’ve been able to trap here. A whole lot of what ifs and couldas. It kills me.

“I definitely want to be out here with my soldiers,’’ Wallace added. “I’m on the sidelines preparing for war, up at practice, going through practice with them, then game film. I’m preparing myself, but (it’s like) 'Guys, I can’t go on the airplane and go to war with you.’ There’s nothing I can do. I have to let this foot do what it does. I have to say that to myself a lot - be patient.....We’ll see how it goes...It’s been a minute. My foot’s feeling better. It’s not up to me. It’s up to Doc for the most part. See what Dr. Callahan says and take it from there.’’
