Marcus Camby Injury Update

Houston Rockets C Marcus Camby is hoping to avoid foot surgery which would keep him out of action for up to two months.  At this point in time, Camby is slated to miss the next two weeks.  

“My plantar fascia is torn,’ Camby said. ‘I’m trying to do whatever I can to avoid surgery. We’re just going to rehab it and see how it goes in the next two weeks and take it from there. We don’t want to rehab it and nurse it and have it still be lingering. That is something I’m going to sit back and figure out and definitely look toward long term, as the season progresses to the second half of the season. I have to be smart about it.’

Camby hurt again

No timetable for Camby's return

The injury was thought to be a minor leg injury but now it appears that Knicks center Marcus Camby will be out longer than the 7-10 days once thought.  Marcus Camby has a calf injury and according to sources he will miss the next 3 Knicks' games.  Mike Woodson updated the media of Camby's status.

“I can’t say he’s close, but he’s feeling better,” Woodson said. “I’ll go in and talk to the training staff just to see if there’s a possible chance that he can possibly come back next week. I don’t know yet. It’s up in the air still....He’s been doing some running on the treadmill and things of that nature...But it’s going to be up to the training staff to release him to me to get him back out on the floor.”

Camby almost took his talents to South Beach

While speaking to the New York Post, 40 year old Marcus Camby admitted that the New York Knicks had to talk him out of signing with the Miami Heat.  Knicks assistant GM and former Camby teammate Allan Houston was instrumental in swaying Camby to the Big Apple.

"I was on my way to Miami, about to go to the airport to go to Miami, when I got the call from Allan...I played with Allan for four years in New York, and he was like, 'Just come, sit down and have a meeting with us.' So I took the meeting with him and coach (Mike Woodson) and they pretty much talked me out of going down to Miami to take that visit.  It would have been hard for me to put on that Miami Heat uniform, especially with all of those battles that we had back in the day. I'm happy things worked out here in New York.....I feel we have a team assembled that can make a long playoff push," Camby said. "We all know itâ??s going to be tough. Miami is the defending champions, and there are still a lot of good teams in the East. (But) we consider ourselves one of the top teams in the East, if not the NBA...It's easier said than done, we have to get that continuity down. I think if I (play my role) and everyone follows suit and listens to what Coach Woodson says we should have a prodigal season."

No trade deadline deal for Miami Heat

The Miami Heat didn't make a move during yesterday's trade deadline but there's still a desire by team management to upgrade the center position.  Despite missing out yesterday, the Heat has another deadline in mind, next Thursday is the buyout deadline for the league where teams can buy players out of their contracts making them free agents.  Marcus Camby, Chris Kaman, and Jermaine O'Neal are three buy out candidates that the Heat will certainly look at as an addition.
