The Knicks breathed a sigh of relief when an MRI revealed that Marcus Camby had nothing more than plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

Camby did not play in last night's 98-67 victory over Philadelphia. The New York Post reports that Camby will miss the next three games as well, a Western trip vs. Utah, Phoenix and San Antonio.

"We hope that's all he misses," Jeff Van Gundy said, again indicating Camby's status for the Oct. 30th season opener is in doubt.

The Post reports the Knicks will be more inclined to trade a point guard for a big man but as Van Gundy said recently, "There's no quality out there." The Knicks' failure to gain the $4.5 million injury exception for Larry Johnson was a critical blow. Utah's Greg Ostertag is available but how much of an upgrade he represents is questionable.
