Jamal Crawford was having his worst game as a Knick, going scoreless in eleven minutes before he was inadvertently hit in the mouth by Indiana's Stephen Jackson with 6:16 left in the second quarter and fell to the floor.  He would not return to the game.

"I was coming off a screen and Jackson got me," Crawford told a Knicks' team spokesman. "I don't really know how he got me, but my neck snapped back. I tried to stop (my head) from hitting the ground, and that's when I hurt my neck."

Crawford said he did not know whether he will be able to play Tuesday, when the Knicks visit the San Antonio Spurs.
