He had an MRI exam Sunday, which revealed a non-displaced fractured left wrist.Coach Isiah Thomas said Monday during a conference call that Jeffries could be sidelined three to six weeks, though the Knicks said they would have a better idea Tuesday.Jeffries signed with the Knicks over the summer after spending his first four seasons with the Washington Wizards.</div>Link

    That sucks, Jeffries was the starting 3. The Knicks miss out on athleticism, length, and defense when he's out. Oh well, he'll be back soon enough. My question is who is going to start instead of him? Quentin Richardson or Jalen Rose?

    can't be that serious of a break if he'd only miss a few weeks. I know that Wrist injuries can sometimes be very serious. the knicks should feel lucky.

    Damn this is a big upset hope he comes back strong. Jalen Rose will start now. Jalen was averaging about 14 for us last year
