Eddy Curry?s shoulder injury yesterday was found to be relatively mild.  Surgery is not needed and he will be re-evaluated in one week.

Team officials remain hopeful that Curry will be out for no more than a week or two.  They have not ruled out the possibility that Curry could return in time for the Oct. 17 exhibition game at Boston, which Curry said was his goal.

At a minimum, Curry will miss the preseason home opener tomorrow, against Maccabi Tel Aviv.  But it seems likely that Curry will be back no later than the Knicks? final three preseason games, starting with an Oct. 22 home game against Boston.  By then, Curry will have had 16 days to recover.
