Eddy Curry has torn cartilage in his right knee and will rest for a few days before a decision on surgery is made, according to an Associated Press report.

Curry missed New York?s loss to Portland on Saturday after hurting the knee during the first half of a loss to Detroit the previous night. An MRI exam Sunday revealed a small vertical tear, so Curry will need surgery at some point.
However, if Curry continues to play, there is no risk of further injury unlike a horizontal tear. He can put off the operation if his knee responds to treatment over the next couple of days.

Curry won?t play Monday in Dallas and is listed as questionable for Wednesday?s game at Miami. He will be re-evaluated sometime in the next few days.
