    <h3>Marbury's status uncertain as Knicks face Clippers</h3>



    <div class="pre">New York (2-4) at LA Clippers (4-2) 10:30 pm EST</div>

    LOS ANGELES (Ticker) - Stephon Marbury's absence could not comeat a worse time for the New York Knicks.


    With their veteran point guard's status in limbo, theshorthanded Knicks will take on the Los Angeles Clippers in thesecond contest of a tough four-game West Coast road tripWednesday at Staples Center.


    Marbury skipped New York's morning practice on Monday afterreportedly being informed that he would not start in the team'seventual, 113-102, loss against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday.

    He flew home to New York prior to the contest but has yet to besuspended - claiming that he had permission to leave the team.Coach Isiah Thomas would not comment, opting to keep the issue"in-house."


    But the timing was poor by Marbury, who left his teammatesbehind just in time for the matchup with the high-powered Sunsand two-time MVP Steve Nash - one of the league's top floorgenerals.


    Second-year player Mardy Collins started in his place but didnot last long. The 6-6 Collins - known more for his defensiveprowess - dished out two assists and missed his lone shot beforespraining his right foot in the first quarter on Tuesday night.

    It was another blow to an already ravaged New York squad, whichalso was without starters Zach Randolph (death in the family)and Quentin Richardson (elbow). The Knicks have lost three in arow since winning two of three to start the season.

    Ironically, Thomas and Marbury - who have been each other'sstaunchest supporters - may have an irrevocably brokenrelationship. Thomas and owner James Dolan have reportedlyspoken about buying out the rest of Marbury's contract.

    But with or without the 30-year-old Marbury, it will be a toughtest against the Clippers, who won their first four games tostart the season before dropping their last two.


    Los Angeles suffered a 103-95 setback against the ClevelandCavaliers on Sunday. Sam Cassell scored 28 points to pace theClippers.
