Lee received word earlier in the week that he will likely not return to the court until the last week of the regular season. According to Frank Isola of the Daily News, Lee was told he may have a stress fracture in his right leg although it's not confirmed.

In his absence, Jared Jeffries will get more playing time.

Wow. He got hurt in the game I went to. He turned his ankle. But he came back in the game a few minutes later, played a couple of minutes and then went to the dressing room and hasn't played since...I don't understand why they put him back in the game and I wonder if he did any more damage.

They probably thought it was just sprained, taped it up real tight then sent him back out. I had a stress fracture, and it can linger for a long time.

The Knicks are such a lucky, yet disappointing organization.

They will be in the Playoffs this season, which should be a shock to most NBA fans rooting in their teams in harder divisions.

They have a key series with the Raptors on Sunday. I'll be in the stands, rooting them on.

David Lee's absense won't be a major hit to their organization, but it will definitely play a key role in their losses.
