It's great news, but we have to hope Camby is being realistic this time and not overly optimistic. It would be nice to get him back for the Bulls game, but i'm not sure if we really need him. We will need him in our back-to-to back versus Atlanta in order to win them both.

It has been reported that he has officially started practicing and hopes to play at least sometime in tomorrow's game against Chicago. When it comes to Camby's game, Realgm said best how his returns effects our team.

"While neither Camby nor his teammates want to admit that he is their savior, he is. His distinctive abilities enable him to change the nature of a game and the state of a franchise, particularly for an undersized club like the Knicks."

Lets hope they're right.

I just hope he doesn't rush his return. We don't want him to get injured again.

I agree totally, we need Marcus for the long haul.

However, if he were to return today, at full health, I would be very happy. By the way, in the coming fortnight, there are some matchups that MC should be looking forward to. Let me explain...

vs. Chicago: Camby was traded for Oakley (now playing for the Bulls) and he still has something to prove to the former Knick.

vs. and @ Atlanta: Camby's career high-high of 37 points came against the Hawks in '97.

vs. Detroit: Camby's best performance of 2000 came vs. the Pistons (I watched it on video the other day, he had something like 25 pts, 15 boards and 5 blks).

@ Washington: He didn't get to play against MJ on opening night, so he'll be looking forward to this one.

vs. Boston: MC scored a 27 against the Celtics last season (season-high).

So thats why the Cambyman wants to come back now!
We suck.

That's right, he says he needs a little more conditioning. I guess he'll be ready for the Atlanta games.
We suck.

I heard he will either be back Monday or Wednesday, but hopefully Monday of course.
