Zach Randolph

Isiah Thomas said Thursday that Zach Randolph won't play on Friday or Saturday so that the team can get a look at Randolph Morris, along with some other young players.

"Zach probably won't play (Friday) or Saturday," Thomas said. "I want to give Randolph (Morris) extended minutes." This news happened to come on the same day that Isiah met with owner James Dolan, who is trying to lure Donnie Walsh away from the Pacers. However, reports from unnamed sources say that Walsh has no interest in going to New York and is using talks as leverage to regain control of the Pacers from Larry Bird. The Knicks can't fall lower than the Heat, but could slip below the Sonics and Grizzlies if they lose enough games, and the Knicks appear to be on a mission to collect as many ping pong balls as possible. In addition, the Knicks are likely going to try to trade Z-Bo for short-term contracts this summer in order to make a run at LeBron in 2010. Mar. 21 - 8:39 am et

Chris Wilcox

Chris Wilcox's right pinkie injury, which originally occurred in January, will keep him in street clothes on Friday and could cause him to shut it down for the rest of the season.

He missed four games in January when he initially suffered the injury and is expected to talk with his agent before receiving a second medical opinion. It makes little sense for him to risk further damage to the digit, and we're guessing we've probably seen the last of him this season. Mar. 21 - 7:52 am et
