GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- New York Knicks point guard Baron Davis says he's "always wanted" to play in Madison Square Garden.
He'll get his opportunity after signing a free-agent contract with the Knicks on Monday morning.
But it's unclear when Davis will be able to hit the Garden floor.
Davis has a herniated disk in his back that he said on Monday could sideline him for 8-10 weeks.
But
a source close to Davis told ESPNNewYork.com that 8-10 weeks is a
conservative estimate and, if his rehabilitation goes well, he could
return in 4-6 weeks "if not sooner."
Said Davis: "For me, it's
taking it one day at a time and ... getting as close as I possibly can
to practicing to practicing as soon as I possibly can."
Davis joined the Knicks after the Cleveland Cavaliers
waived him last week and designated him as their amnesty player so his
salary wouldn't count against their cap figure. The Knicks were looking
to fortify their backcourt, where they are slated to start third-year Toney Douglas and second-year player Landry Fields.
SI.com
reported that Davis' one-year deal with the Knicks is worth $2.5
million, which is the maximum New York could pay in using what is known
as the "mini" mid-level exception for luxury-tax teams.
