That doesn't sound pretty and it would not be surprising if he sat out today. Al Thornton is also a GTD with a sore right foot.

The Knicks just got done dismantling the Raps in New York on Friday. Hughes and Wilcox are very intriguing players right now, but it could take them weeks to work themselves into the kind of game shape they'll need to run in Mike D'Antoni's offense.

</TD></TR><TR><TD vAlign=top colSpan=3>Tyrus Thomas is questionable for Sunday's game with a strained right hamstring suffered on Friday night, when he played 44 minutes.
The injury doesn't sound too serious, but if he can't go, newcomer John Salmons should start in his place tonight.

There was some hope that he could travel to Portland and play, but the L.A. Times says he's been ruled out. Hopefully he'll be good to go for his four-game upcoming week, but he is a bit risky until we get more information.

Brad Miller - C - Bulls

Brad Miller, John Salmons, Tim Thomas and Anthony Roberson are all expected to be available for Sunday's game at Indiana.
Miller has been out with a hip flexor/abdominal injury, but it sounds like he will play on Sunday. In addition, Salmons could start if Tyrus Thomas can't play through a hamstring injury. Feb. 22
