NEW YORK -- Larry Brown entered a Memphis hospital Tuesday night after complaining of chest pains and was released following a two-hour examination, according to the New York Daily News.

The Knicks confirmed Thursday night that their medical staff had arranged for Brown to meet with doctors at the hospital for precautionary reasons and that the 65-year-old coach was given a clean bill of health. It is believed Brown was suffering from indigestion.

After being released, Brown was seen talking to a group of team officials, including Garden chairman James Dolan, in the hotel lobby.

The Knicks stressed that the problem was nothing serious and that the pain is unrelated to a bladder condition that forced him to miss 17 games last season with the Pistons.

On Wednesday night, Brown showed no signs of discomfort or fatigue and appeared as active and as animated as ever in the Knicks' 101-99 loss to the Grizzlies. On Thursday, Brown conducted a two-hour practice and he will be on the bench tonight against the Bulls.
