Raymond Felton has missed the past 12 games with a fractured right pinky, but he will participate in a full practice on Friday and is hoping to return Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Still, Felton is cautious about his injury, admitting surgery would sideline him for the season.
"If I have to sit out another two games and come back at home, if that's what it takes, then that's what I have to do," Felton said.
The Knicks have gone 6-6 over the past 12 games that Felton has missed.
