Eddy Curry was back on the court with the Knicks for the first time this season on Monday after coming down with a bacterial infection, the Associated Press is reporting.

"It was tough," Curry said. "It's definitely going to take some hard work to get back in the flow of things, but it's training camp, it's preseason and I've got time to get where I need to be."

Curry looked tired at the end, resting along the wall with his head in his hand.

"You can't judge him today. You're not going to be able to judge him. You've got to give him at least a week or two to get his legs and everything, but it's just good to have him on the floor," D'Antoni said. "The week off hurt him, but if you're sick, you're sick. There's not much you can do about that."
