<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Jared Jeffries, the Knicks key free agent acquistion, will make his debut on Monday against Boston at the Garden, nearly two months after having left wrist surgery. "I'm getting anxious," said Jeffries, who signed a five-year, $30 million contract over the summer. Isiah Thomas said yesterday that the forward will be used as a backup for the time being. Stephon Marbury, who sat the final 19 minutes of Saturday's win over Milwaukee after suffering a bruised left forearm, is expected to play.</div> Source
How much more longer until Channing Frye comes back? Also, does it look like this will reduce Balkman's minutes with his return or will Balkman just move down to the 2 spot?
^Probably reduce his minutes. Jeffries and Balkman are virtually the same, except Jeffries is 3 inches taller. Still, it could be hectic combination for the opposition having to deal with two hustle players on the floor at the same time. Looking forward to see him. I was impressed with his one game in preseason. He should be able to bolster our defense a bit.
