-- New York Knicks point guard Baron Davis says he's "always wanted" to play in Madison Square Garden.
He'll get his opportunity after signing a free-agent contract with the Knicks on Monday morning.
Davis has a herniated disk in his back that he said on Monday could sideline him for 8-10 weeks.
But a source close to Davis told ESPNNewYork.com that 8-10 weeks is a conservative estimate and, if his rehabilitation goes well, he could return in 4-6 weeks "if not sooner."
Said Davis: "For me, it's taking it one day at a time and ... getting as close as I possibly can to practicing to practicing as soon as I possibly can."
Davis joined the Knicks after the Cleveland Cavaliers waived him last week and designated him as their amnesty player so his salary wouldn't count against their cap figure. The Knicks were looking to fortify their backcourt, where they are slated to start third-year Toney Douglas and second-year player Landry Fields.
SI.com reported that Davis' one-year deal with the Knicks is worth $2.5 million, which is the maximum New York could pay in using what is known as the "mini" mid-level exception for luxury-tax teams.I just hope Baron Davis stays in shape and The Knicks should make the playoffs.click on video to see offical annoucement.
