Last night, Knicks' forward David Lee came down on Andrew Bogut's ankle, leaving the game with 5:56 to go in the third quarter after spraining his right ankle.

Lee reentered the game with 28.4 seconds left in the third quarter, but did not play at all in the fourth.

"It's tough," said Stephon Marbury. "I noticed when he wasn't in the game right away. He's always around the basketball. He's getting offensive rebounds and he's always making something happen."

Lee may play tomorrow in New Jersey, but the Knicks will wait until after practice today to make a decision on the second-year power forward's status.

"It's in a strange spot," Lee said. "It's just a little sore right now. I landed awkwardly, it was just painful. It hurts to put weight on it and pound on it. I'll be OK. I heal quickly."
