Knicks' forward David Lee, one of the NBA's best rebounders, announced the partial results of the second opinion he received from Dr. David Porter.  

While Dr. Porter is still reviewing the medical tests, Lee told the media that he could miss 3-4 more weeks for what Lee termed "something in between a bad bone bruise and a stress fracture" of his right leg.

"Now don?t hear the stress fracture part and go there," said Lee.  "It?s more so that you could possibly be classified somewhere similar to a stress reaction. I don?t believe it?s going to be a full stress fracture ? and they?re still looking at the MRI ? but it?s more going to be along the lines of a stress reaction, something that is similar to a bad bone bruise, and it?s just going to be time that?s going to heal it."

3-4 weeks of additional rest may allow Lee to return around the last week of the regular season.
