NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks announced before the Cleveland Cavaliers game on Saturday night that starting point guard Jeremy Lin will be out approximately six weeks with a small chronic meniscal tear in his left knee, based on an MRI exam.
Lin will have arthrosopic surgery early next week in New York to repair the injury.
Lin has missed the past three games with what the team was calling a sore left knee, but there was a sense something could be more serious when he went for an MRI. In addition, Lin did not address the media in Atlanta on Friday night, leading to speculation the secrecy of the MRI results revealed something worse, which is now the case.
Baron Davis, who aggravated his hamstring against the Hawks, will continue to be the starter. Coach Mike Woodson, addressing reporters before the Cavaliers game, said it will be unlikely the team signs any point guards. In addition to Davis and Mike Bibby off the bench, Woodson said Toney Douglas can expect to see an increased role.
